I experimented with this a while back by modifying the spec within the
apache<version>.src.rpm. This was under Red Hat 8.0, and it caused
instability on certain content (SquirrelMail comes to mind).

I posted this back in December, for Red Hat 8.0's Apache 2.0.40, but I
believe it should more or less apply for Red Hat 9.

In the above linked post, I've outlined how to modify the Apache spec in
order to use worker threads, and incidentally noted how to increase your max
connections as well at compile time.

Hope this helps.
