This brings up interesting questions.  Assume you have an existing web
server that needs to hand out "other stuff" (cgi, static pages, ...) 
and you need to do SOAP server functionality on the same machine, and
due to firewall (or whatever) reasons cannot do it on a different port.

What would the recommended approach be?  Use Apache mod_proxy to 
proxy incoming SOAP calls to a different port on the local machine, and
have a perl daemon with XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon listen to that?

Being curious...  (right now we use SOAP::Lite for this part of the
system, but having to maintain boath XML::Compile::SOAP and SOAP::Lite 
on the same machine is a bit stupid)
