OK, I follow you now. (I can be a little slow sometimes. :-P)
Unfortunately, the way server_aliases is implemented right now, it's
tied into specific port numbers, so it wouldn't be a trivial change to
make it work the way you want (though I think it would be a good idea
for the future). I'll try to further clarify my clarification to the
docs.
