Yes, you can add one or more aliasese to the Swazoo Site. And not only 
hostname aliases but a whole host:ip:port combination. And that's what 
you need to do in your case:

  1. SwazooServer stop
  2. inspect your Site
  3. yourSite addAlias:
	(SiteIdentifier host:'localhost' ip:'127.0.0.1' port: 8001)
  4. SwazooServer start

If you inspect now a SwazooServer singleton servers, you'll now see two 
HTTPServers serving on two ip:port combinations but for the same Site!

Best regards
Janko
