The way nginx (and Apache, and...) use multiple worker processes is not
to have each bind to the same listen port (which as you found is not
possible), but instead to have one master server listen on, using your
example, 8080, and have each worker handle incoming connection request
fulfillment. They (master and workers) typically are communicating with
each other via UNIX sockets or shared memory.
