This is possible: assign different port numbers to these services
and use a package like socks to filters these to incoming and/or
outgoing connections. Of course this could be a little inconvenient
for users acessing both tree's, but you could have a master copy of
the public tree inside your private tree. Change the port numbers
used by your browser (or use the http://<addres>:<port> syntax).
Use a server which is able to start multiple copies with different
parameters (good old "CERN" server does). It works.

If your competition really wants it, they'll download the file and
remove the headers!
