Service is defined for whole cluster, so you need different services. 
This is why you usually have to run them with
different commands. But still using your approach you will lost the main 
benefit - high availability - main reason for using
cluster suite for me :) I prefer to use resource 'apache' because then 
you can have several apaches on different IP address on
one server (in any of them fail). Steps for this path should be define 
service for each httpd and define failover domain for each
service (with different priority - so they will run on different nodes 
if possible). After this you can use clusvcadm -e service and it
will run on correct nodes.

marx,
