Hi.

It would be nice if you'd allow service names (i.e. from /etc/services, respectively the getent syscalls) to be used in the Listen directive to specify the port.

E.g.
Listen 0.0.0.0:https
Listen 0.0.0.0:http-alt

That way, when one changes the port, all one needs to do change it in one place (/etc/services) and then restarting apache/iptables is enough if properly configured.


Cheers,
Chris.
