Yeah, I know.   I have a whole bunch of apache servers,
of potentially different versions, hence different ports.
(rather than use virtual servers)
The first uses 80+443, the second 81+444, the third ... well
you can guess :-)

Does any present or future Samba plan to use it too?
(I presume the answer is yes for future, but I think
no for the present.?)

PS.  I may go to virtual ips for my multiple apaches
but that's enough on apache for this list.
