Is there a performance problem if I run apache on multiple ports for various domains?

Question

I have two domains right now. Both run on Apache and are behind nginx (using proxy_pass).

One site is django and another is php and both are running on different ports.

I want to deploy more domains in similar fashion, however is running apache on multiple ports for different application a bad practice ?

If yes/no, why ?

This looks similar to this:serverfault.com/questions/251593/… but it's not quite, so I migrated. — Kev, May 28, 2011 at 0:57

No, I don't see Apache listening on multiple ports a performance problem.

I have seen single applications use 1 instance of Nxinx to proxy_pass to multiple upstream apache servers. Sounds like a good idea.
