You are right. Running a separate Apache process for each domain, listening 
on a different port, is possible.  But yeah, on a Cobalt (or any "low RAM" 
server) it's probably not the easiest thing to attempt.

Plus, with non-standard ports, it wouldn't be easy just for people to 
connect to the server -- invariably the port number gets left off the 
URL...
