I don't even know if it is possible to run multuple instances of Apache2 
on one box. If it is possible I expect it will use more resources then 
running one Apache2 with multiple virtual webservers. As far as I know it 
is the way Apache2 is designed to run, so there will be more experience 
running it this way and it will be better tested. Less change to 
experience problems no one has solutions for.
