Hi James,

It's easy, just configure your aolserver to listen, for example, on 127.0.0.1:80, and have a look at the apache mod_proxy documentation to redirect the requests you want to aolserver. Typical apache config could be something like this:

##### Proxy
ProxyRequests off

<proxy>
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</proxy>

ProxyPreserveHost On

ProxyPass /whatever http://127.0.0.1/whatever
ProxyPassReverse /whatever http://127.0.0.1/whatever
...

Have a look at google, there are lots of examples about that.

Cheers, Héctor
