if you are talking about having say port 80 act as both a webserver and an ssh server it is not easy but is possible. i started working on a program more as an experiment than anything else, but that would "envelope", as i call it, multiple services. the way it works (well in theory) is you go to http://foo:80 then select a port from the menu there, next time you connect to foo:80 it will go directly to that port. it's based on ip address.

it's not a perfect method and the code is not complete yet but if you want it i'll post it, it's python.
