Running Multiple Servers

Can anyone point me towards a good reference for running multiple
mod_perl servers on the same box?

I'm going to be having 2-3 mod_perl apps running at once on a box I've
got.

I've read the mod_perl o'reilly book with the chapter that covers
'optimizing' performance by separating the mod_perl from vanilla apache
and using a proxypass to pass it over to an alternate port.

I'm trying to figure out if it'll be worth the headache to set up a
separate apache server for each mod_perl project. I know in practice
there should be a decent performance gain from less shared memory --
but it looks like a nightmare to set up.

I can't find the same document in the mod_perl 2.0 tree, but this has
served me well in the past:

http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/
install.html#Installing_Perl_Modules_into_a_Directory_of_Choice

Its not really all that hard...

as long as you are good with mod_rewrite or similiar.

Took me about 10 minutes to setup something that would
be similiar to what you are talking about. ( 10 minutes
after discounting compilation time. )
