Just to follow up on my own question here... I've found the -port
option for the FastCgiServer directive. So if I specify -port 5000,
then my FastCGI app should listen for an incoming connection on port
5000, right?

Or, if I use the FastCgiExternalServer directive, then there is a -host
(hostname:port) option which seems equivalent. This is documented as
the host and port that "the application uses for communication with the
web server," which seems backwards to me. Shouldn't it be the host that
the FastCGI application is running on? Do I understand correctly that
the FastCGI app should be listening, and it's the web server (via
mod_fastcgi) which is initiating the connection?

One final question on FastCgiExternalServer, if you'll bear with me. It
sounds like this lets me launch my FastCGI app myself however I like,
including under the debugger. If so, that will be a huge boon for
development; I should be able to develop & debug this way, and then
switch to the FastCgiServer for deployment. Is that right?

Thanks,
- Joe
