You're right, this is a very hackish approach. ;-) Especially the part
with all those links keeps me from choosing this way.

This really wouldn't be worth the effort and I'm not so keen on running
several servers on one machine.

I see your point but one tends to stick to well known layouts...

Well, the thing about something "handcrafted" wouldn't be much of a
problem here. My layout is one server, two clients and me as the only
user.

Nevertheless, thank you for your clarifications.
