installation question: NT and IIS

Hi all,

I am brand new, so I imagine these may be easy questions for many of you and
I thank you in advance for the help.  We just purchased Manila/Frontier and
I want to install it on a Windows NT 4.0 server running IIS.  I have about
10 production websites on this server so I can't afford to break any of them
during the install.  My question is what precautions I need to take.  Should
I add another IP address to the network card for frontier?  Can I get
frontier to answer on a non-standard port (not port 80) during the
installation?  Can manila be made to run on top of IIS rather than frontier?
Is this even a good idea?

I haven't figured out yet whether our preferred use of manila will be to
create statically rendered pages served by IIS, or whether there would be a
parallel set of manila websites to the IIS ones (which use manila features),
but I'm hoping that at least manila can coexist on the same box with IIS.

Thanks again.

P.S. if it's more appropriate you can answer privately.
