Usually is limited to HTTP, but HTTP can be on another port too.
So... even a Proxy/Firewall server is used then you can acces other ports
like:
http://server.site.com:81 for
example.

If host headers is used, then it can be an issue for home use.....
You must register multiple domains and or servers at the same IP address in
order to work.

How is this statement related with PAT?
