Hi Tal, The hostPort lets you restrict not only the virtual domain name served by your virtual host, but also its port number, so you could have one separate virtual host per port number in theory.
The resourcePort could potentially be different from the hostPort if the HTTP request URI was provided in absolute form: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html#sec5.1.2 The serverPort is a property that restrict your virtual host to the actual listening port of your server socket, which might be different fro the hostPort when using port rerouting.
