I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Providing multiple SMF 
instances for many http ports looks really funny to me. (Yes 8080 and 
8888 are common for http; with the pen command line options it's easy to 
configure, but providing a SMF instance for each port doesn't seem 
graceful to me.)

Any better solutions?
