Orion NCM and NPM web console coexistance

Question

We hear that new Orion NCM v5 will have its own web console (I don't mean the NCM web resource integration in Orion NPM web console). My question is, will Orion NCM and NPM web consoles coexist on the same web server machine? How would the two web sites in this case be addressed? Through separate IP address or different ports? My favorite would be to make them both non-default web sites and access them through subfolder in URL (e.g. http://orionserver.domain.com/ncm and http://orionserver.domain.com/npm). Will this be supported?

NCM and NPM can coexist on the same web server and on the same port peacefully.  Just setup "Host Header" parsing on your web server.

- Only caveat is that every NPM or NCM update will overwrite your custom website configuration. - The configuration wizard will respect your application pool settings, but not the Advanced Web Site Identification settings....

Current implementation is to have individual websites in IIS for NCM and NPM. This is accomplished by having unique ports for each of the sites. We have not tested or plan to support the virtual directory (subfolder) approach atleast in the initial release.

Personally, I am thinking of using different ports for web sites more for proxying the internet traffic, separating different protocols (e. g. security), and for administration web sites, but this is only my subjective opinion. Thank you for your reply.
