Create two endpoints with the same private port on Windows Azure

Question

I have an apache server running on port 8080. I've created this endpoint:

8080 forwarding to 8080

But when I try to create this:

80 forwarding to 8080

I get an error that says that the private port and protocol conflict with another endpoint. How can I have two endpoints forwarding to the same private port?
