DNS doesn't care about ports, but your web-browser does. It assumes that
if you don't specify a port in HTTP mode, that it should look at port
80, the 'well-known' port for HTTP. So if you have
Zope1 on 127.0.0.1:80
Zope2 on 127.0.0.1:8080
Zope3 on 127.0.0.1:12345
pointing your browser at 127.0.0.1 implies 127.0.0.1:80, which is Zope1.
You can't (so far as I know!) point a DNS record at a combination of
number and port. What you can do is get your webserver to rewrite
requests for the name 'Zope2' to the right number:port combo. Exactly
how that is done depends heavily on your setup.
