Hi Andy, thanks for the reply.

Do you feel nginx is better than lighttpd for this?  How about apache?

Is it simply a matter of having the other httpd listen on another port, 
and entering that port number in a config file?  Did you have to do 
anything special to configure httpd (for example, to automatically 
create directories that don't yet exist for PUT requests?)

thanks again
