Perhaps for webdav and ftp it would work fine. XML-RPC is a bit of a
different animal, as it runs through  http, thus on the same port as
zope's http side.  Going out on a limb here, I would guess that to move
XML-RPC to a seperate port would be very, very time consuming and
difficult; not to mention questionable with respects to the standard?
