As far as I know Scott has it right in terms of the benefits.  Zend  
wanted to automate the set up (hence the use of port 89 as the  
default) but also to permit co-existence with existing web apps.

While at ZendCon we met a number of i users who were directing most of  
their PHP traffic directly to the PASE instance.  I assume one just  
adds the additional port and IP related directives but Apache remains  
a mystery to me so I haven't explored the idea.  They did say that it  
significantly improved their response time.

Have you checked the Zend forum? - that would be the best spot to look  
for details of how to do this.
