One reason I could think of off-hand would be to guarantee connections.
i.e. very busy webserver which maxes out at times, but there may be an 
admin section for instance, which you wish people to always have access 
to (people being the admins, obviously), so running two seperate apache 
servers on the server will mean can have a connection count of MAX-100 
for main server, and 100 on admin section (So box/line will not become 
overloaded).

This is only reason I can see why doing it would be an advantage.
