Thanks John, that did the trick. I got a similar off-list suggestion from Andrew.

I was initially confused because the sites I'd set up didn't use the performance cache. It took me a while to discover that if *any* sites use the cache, then all virtual sites go through the performance cache port. Sure enough, of the 50+ sites configured one had the performance cache turned on. *sigh* I probably did that just to test it out at some point.

Anyway, turned the cache off and all virtual sites went back to using port 80. I reconfigured the PassProxy and PassProxyReverse directives and everything is working perfectly. (yea!)

I had also considered this approach, but was avoiding it because I'm currently using all of my IP addresses I have allocated at the co-lo. I was looking for a simpler solution before I started buying more IPs.
