Also you appear to have *two* httpd processes running.
One from /usr/sbin/httpd and the other from /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.
Maybe one is Apache2, the other is Apache1, maybe they are symlinked
and really the same, who knows?
It also appears that FOUR of them are running. If lots of people are
hitting the server, that would be normal. Apache spawns extra httpd
processes depending on the load and the limits with which it has been
configured.
Following are some relevant directives in httpd.conf. Check them and
see how they have been configured for your server.
MaxSpareServers (defaults to 10)
MinSpareServers (defaults to 5)
ServerLimit (I think this controls the maximum number of servers
spawned, no idea of default value)
StartServers (how many to start, no idea of default)

Guys
I am having a problem that just began all of a sudden last week. My server
has so many httpdse processes and perl processes that come up as it is
running. These processes are hogging up all my memory and the cpu load is
a trick too.
What could be causing this? Coz I do kill the processes, things get back
fine for a while then all hell breaks loose after some time. This tends to
cause the apache to stop serving sites, sometimes the DNS goes down. I
just dont seem to click whats going on.

Is it normal to have all these httpd processes running?
