We had both apache and apache+ssl running, but found it annonying as
hell. So we switched to use apache+ssl for both non-secure and secure
websites..

If anyone is interested I have a web page on how to compile
apache1.2.6+ssl1.16 at
http://www.linuxrox.com/software/webserver
There is also an example httpd.conf on how to use apache+ssl for both
secure and non-secure httpds'..
