        You can dynamically increase the total number of open file 
descriptors allowed by doing

echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/file-max
echo 12228 > /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max

I've used these numbers without problems.  Note the per user limit
is half of file-max so 'nobody' can only open 2048 in this example.  If 
you want to increase the number of file descriptors per process you'll have 
to patch your kernel and recompile.  Since apache forks this shouldn't 
be necessary unless you're running many virtual domains and need lots 
of open log files per server.

Don't know enough to comment here.  Anyone else?
