Are the Apaches fronted by proxies? In which case, I'd seriously consider everyone having their own Apaches with a limited number of processes and an appropriately (automatically generated?) startup.pl for maximum shared memory in those processes. Obviously, that number can be tuned depending on the site, but you'd be surprised at how few most sites need if the responses are quick. See Stas Bekman's immortal tuning work.
