I have two domains right now. Both run on Apache and are behind nginx (using proxy_pass).

One site is django and another is php and both are running on different ports.

I want to deploy more domains in similar fashion, however is running apache on multiple ports for different application a bad practice ?

If yes/no, why ?

No, I don't see Apache listening on multiple ports a performance problem.

I have seen single applications use 1 instance of Nxinx to proxy_pass to multiple upstream apache servers. Sounds like a good idea.
