I have only with SSL, and I think you're wrong...

because my URL is https://www.domain.com:81/blablabla

I believe that the : who states the port bypassws all defaults... besides,
if admserv listens on the normal httpd's security (ssl) port, where is
httpd (normal) listens? think about it :)

I believe admserv always listens on 81, and serves SSL if an SSL cert is
installed. I might be wrong, of course :0
