No, that would be a painful way to do things...and it wouldn't fix

your problem, as both instances would bind to the IP, port and config

files by default.
Just did this yesterday myself, in fact, so I'm suddenly an "expert" :)

(i.e., wait a bit for people to tell you how wrong I am!)
httpd can be run multiple times with multiple configs, just configure

it to use different ports/IPs, and run each with a different config.
Copy your httpd.conf file to another name.

Configure it as you wish, changing the port/IP address as appropriate.

run it as "httpd -f /var/www/conf/2ndhttpd.conf".  ta-da!
I used this to run a second copy of httpd which was running as a user

which DID have write privileges to the html documents directory.  This

second instance is running on a different port.  I then used pf to

redirect CERTAIN external IP addresses to that second port, so now

some locations on the Internet get one instance, the rest get the

primary instance.
