If Server A has IP 192.168.1.50, you *cannot* have a server B also on
192.168.1.50 in the samen LAN. You would have 1 IP address for multiple
servers and that just isn't going to work.

What you *can* do is :
Server A = 192.168.1.50
Server B = 192.168.1.51
Forward requests to 192.168.1.50:8080 to 192.168.1.51(:8080 or whatever
you like)
