two webservers on port 80

[beekman]

can I run two different web servers (two seperate machines) on port 80 at home
or does it have to be 80 and 81 or whatever...is there any special way to do this

same for ftp server, two servers using port 21

any help appreciated, thanks

You can do it. And they can even be accessible from the outside if you have 2 ip addresses and no NAT type setup.

Like n0c insinuated, you need 2 Internet routable IPs for that, otherwise no. If you used NAT how would it know which server to redirect to?

I suppose if you had a NAT router setup to forward port XX traffic to port 80 on an internal machine than you could do it, however people on the outside would have to go to a differant port for that machine so that would kind of make that a mute point.....

However if each machine were to have a public IP than sure you could!
