If your headed to the high end (the other 1%). You can put a load 
balancer, such as an f5, in front which can then do any URL rewriting 
you need and redirect the request  to a number of machines based on 
various metrics, eg load or connections, on what ever port you wish. 
This is over kill for the current application however.
