A good trick is to set up all of the virtual hosts you need in the
server listening on port 80 (presumably this is your apache-1.3.x
server), and then use mod_proxy to fetch the content from the server
on port 8080 (presumably the apache-2.0.x server). Something like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
ServerName www8080.example.com
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/www8080.example.com/" # Not sure if this
# is necessary
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyPass / http://www8080.example.com:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www8080.example.com:8080/
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
Cheers,
Matthew
