Use IIS (well, I don't but I've never seen an exploding brain before!)
Ok, more seriously. As I understand, you said earlier that you want one app to listen to port 80 for some inbound URL's but have another listen to port 80 for other inbound URL's.
So, thinking about that, it requires some process (application) to figure out which URL is being called. That can't happen on the "connect" to the port, the determination has to wait on data that comes after the port is connected because you simply don't know the target URL until after the connection.
So, what happens is that one app must take over a port and listen. THAT app can then do what it wants with the messages and connection.
The app connected to port 80 can accept whatever inbound connection comes, examine it, and then decide to redirect if some other app/server is supposed to handle it. In any case, for a given IP and Port combination, only one app can have it.
If I misunderstood your requirements, I apologize so just use IIS. <g>
If you're asking about redirecting to multiple servers then there are others here that do that and can answer.
