How to create a sails.js app that will listen on two different ports simultaneously

For example, I have a sails.js application that (by default) listens on port 1337. I want to configure it to listen on two different ports at the same time - one for SSL and one for non-SSL traffic. Is this even possible? I have scoured the documentation and cannot find an example that shows me anything other than setting a single port value.

Do I have to create an front-end that (like Apache or nginx) to do it is it it possible to stick with a pure node.js solution - perhaps with express?

I should add that I am only using the server for web sockets via socket.io

A working example would be great, but any tips and pointers would help.

the simplest would probably be to run your server twice.

Just make sure you share common data like sessions and persistent global variables - maybe using something like redis (sails can automatically base your session on redis and can even bind a model on the redis server while keeping the rest on your current database)
