How to add second web server

I currently have a web server running in IIS. I want to install a second web server, which will be running Apache. I know nothing about Apache and will be using Xampp to install it along with MySql so that I can host my blog using WordPress.

Anyhoo, thinking through this, how will I be able to support two web servers? The IIS server is currently hosting about 4 domains. I plan to move one off and onto the Apache web server. How will I support this? If it's possible.

Thanks

Good info, thanks. It took me a second to understand the second IP. You mean obtain a second external IP from my ISP? I'll need to check my options there. I like the idea to setup a listen port in the meantime just to play with Apache/PHP and learn how to tweak WordPress. Once I like how it's working, or not, I can get the second IP or move it over on my poor little IIS box.

Thanks again!!!
