I went down this road a few months ago. Someone wrote a patch that would add OCSP client functionality to Apache, but the patch never got folded into the Apache mainline code. We spent a bit of effort trying to get the patch to work with our version of Apache with no luck. There are two products from commercial organizations out there that can help. One is from Tumbleweed, called Server Validator. It's pricey about $2000 per server, but works pretty well. Its very easy to install and configure and has some nice features for supporting OCSP and failing over to CRLs. It is supported on several platforms. The other product is called WebCullis from the organization that used to be Orion Security. (Orion Security has since been bought by Entrust.) It used to be under the GPL, which was nice. At the time, they only had a version for Windows and Intel based Solaris. I hope this helps.
