Frontpage and jails and possible alternatives

I just learned that if you run Apache+Frontpage, you can't teach Apache to
only listen on a single IP address. For some reason, Frontpage causes
Apache to always bind to all IP addresses. Somehow, this stupidity doesn't
really surprise me too much.
The reason I wanted to do this is because I have a machine I want to
set jails up on, so I can run multiple instances of Apache. But I didn't
want to mess with the existing Apache installation right now.
Anyway ... in the long run I've got two choices:
1) Get Apache+Frontpage running in a jail so it will quit fscking up the other
stuff I'm trying to do on this machine
2) Find some alternative to frontpage to provide frontpage services that
behaves like a proper server.
My questions are (respectively):
1) Does anyone have Apache+Frontpage successfully running in a jail? I just
thought I'd ask before I spent (wasted?) a lot of time trying to make it
work.
2) Can anyone suggest an alternative to Apache+Frontpage? I prefer scp myself
(and there are even spiffy GUI scp clients for Windows) but many of these
clients _insist_ on using Frontpage, so I _must_ continue to cater to them.
TIA for any answers.
