Certbot isn't written to support different runs on the same system.  It might 
be worth filing an upstream feature request for that as it would be a useful 
feature.

As for SE Linux policy to support multiple separate private SSL keys on the 
same system, it seems that there would be many variations on that and trying 
to write generic policy wouldn't be viable.  Maybe a better solution would be 
to support different MCS categories for different daemons and then different 
categories for private keys.  Then the sysadmin would have full control over 
which daemons could access which private keys.
