There are situations where you might want to do this.
In our case, we had a customer running both mod_python and mod_wsgi at
the same time on the same server.
Due to some crashes, we decided to split apache up and add a 3rd
proxy-instance on top of it.
Has been running flawlessly since then.

When your infrastructure is completely virtualized, it may make no
sense.
But some people still prefer to run on real hardware ;-)
