so i was going through the hunchentoot documenation and I noticed that Edi said "Unless you are in a Lisp without MP capabilities, you can have several active instances of ACCEPTOR http://weitz.de/hunchentoot/#acceptor(listening on different ports) at the same time."

Now this is great but I can not seem to understand how do you link a dispatcher to an acceptor (any kind of dispatcher) should the uri we put include a port or something. Can anyone point out this? Thanks in advance.

The default acceptor refers to *dispatch-table* to find a dispatcher that is willing to return a handler.

To modify this behavior (e.g. have a separate table per acceptor) you need to subclass ACCEPTOR and set the REQUEST-DISPATCHER slot to an appropriate function:

(request-dispatcher :initarg :request-dispatcher :accessor acceptor-request-dispatcher :documentation "A designator for the request dispatcher function used by this acceptor. A function which accepts a REQUEST object and calls a request handler of its choice (and returns its return value). The default is the unexported symbol LIST-REQUEST-DISPATCHER which works through the list *DISPATCH-TABLE*.")

HTH,
