Now I'm confused.  I thought the reason people used separate ports so 
often on the iSeries was so they could have their own Apache configuration 
that they could mess around with and not worry about breaking the main 
server?

Using subdomains (and by that, I assume you're using VirtualHosts) won't 
help you in that case, will it?  You'll be sharing the same configuration 
as the main web server, and therefore run the risk of breaking it when you 
monkey with the options.

What do subdomains give you that a simple subdirectory wouldn't?  (Other 
than maybe a shorter URL...)
