Lighttpd for one, but mostly for web frameworks that don't have to
reside behind a webserver (i.e. Ruby on Rails, TurboGears, Twisted,
etc).  All of these (and many others) can all use domain sockets.

There are many companies (myself included) that specialize in hosting
these types of frameworks and I know for myself I'd rather use a domain
socket if possible.
