Multiple instances bound to separate IPs?

Is it possible to run two separate instances of Apache, both on port
80, but each bound to a different IP? So, for instance one, I'd have
this in the httpd.conf:

Listen 192.168.1.1:80

And in the other, I'd have have:

Listen 192.168.1.2:80

If I started each with a specification of configuration file, would it
work, or would I get an error about a service already bound to port
80? I'd start them like so

/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -k start
/usr/local/apache2_php5/bin/httpd -f
/usr/local/apache2_php5/conf/httpd.conf -k start

Thanks in advance,

Sean

Define your instance specific nonsense as pereach instance. I.e. Pid files.... It is how we did it in the old days prior to VHosts

RE: Multiple instances bound to separate IPs? [In reply to]

Of course this is possible.

A TCP connection is uniquely identified by the 5-tuple {localIP, localPort, remoteIP, remotePort, protocol}. The remoteIP and remotePort may be * in case of a passive open, i.e. a socket in LISTEN status, as is the case of a http server.

AS a matter of fact, you may not even need separate Apache instances. One instance can listen for connections on multiple addresses and ports, i.e. have multiple Listen directives.

It's no more of an issue than if the same process/instance does the same thing.

Axel,

Thanks for your reply. I know that you can have one instance of Apache listening on multiple IPs and on multiple ports, in fact that's the way I have things running now. But what I now need is the
opposite. I need to run two separate instances of Apache becuase
each instance will use a different major version of the PHP module.
So I'd have each one listening on a unique IP, but BOTH instances listening on port 80. Will that be an issue?

Thanks again,

Sean
