How does one start varnishd to listen on multiple ports?

[Paul A. Procacci]

>From the documentation:

###########################################
       -a address[:port][,address[:port][...]
              Listen for client requests on the specified  address  and  port.
              The  address  can  be  a  host  name (alocalhosta), an IPv4 dot-
              ted-quad (a127.0.0.1a), or an IPv6 address  enclosed  in  square
              brackets  (a[::1]a).  If address is not specified, varnishd will
              listen on all available IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.   If  port  is
              not  specified, the default HTTP port as listed in /etc/services
              is used.  Multiple listening addresses and ports can  be  specia
              fied as a whitespace- or comma-separated list.

What you want is to separate ports by a comma.  Each addition 'a' flag replaces the first.
