Two or more processes cannot listen (to all) on the same port number on the 
same machine. It's just the way TCP/IP works.

To achieve something like you may think of, you have to build a "proxy" 
listener, which dispatches the accepted connections to slave processes. 
Hence, this usually (virtual domains, not just parallizing or load-balancing) 
involves the investigation of the "Host:" HTTP header field, which is the 
only way to check which server should get the connection.

So your question sounds pretty pointless to me.

Kind regards
