there are 2 Solutions (if we are talking about WWW)

a) use different Ports
   W:80 -> C:80
   W:8080 -> D:80
   W:8081 -> E:80
b) use the Host Command from HTTP which no browser nor Server does Support
   yet :)

To get back on it, its not a problem of software, but of design. There is no
way a Server can tell what the host part of an URL was other than looking at
the connected address:port Combination. If you have only one valid address
youcan run only one server at a given port.

Greetings
