The purpose is to segregate different usages.

The most common case is to split 4GL and SQL connections.  To do that you also need to use the -ServerType parameters so that a broker will only accept one type of connection.

It is a bit unusual but you can also use secondary brokers to setup connection pools for different classes of users -- perhaps accounting, sales and shipping each get their own brokers.
