Some pointers:

   MaxRequestsPerChild 512
   This means that after an Apache child process handles
   512 requests, it will be killed off (and a replacement will
   need to be forked). With 45+ million request per
   hour, that's a lot of forking.

   Min/MaxSpareServers 512
   You are telling Apache that you want between 512
   and 512 idle Apache processes. If you have more,
   kill them off; less, add more. Can you see the
   issue with this? :)

   (actually, Apache internally tries to handle
    this misconfig by setting Max to 513, but
    still, that's a REAL NARROW BAND)

When I use the default settings apache immediately complains that it reaches the server limit. Therefore, I kept raising the limits until I reached the configuration listed below and still the CPU utilization on the apache box is less than 10% (Its a quad AMD box with plenty of memory). I've spent the past month pouring through the documents trying to figure out how to configure these settings. What would you suggest for a high-volume site that can serve up 45+ million requests in an hour?

I would suggest reading at least *some* of the documents
on how to configure Apache. Apache is spending
loads of time thrashing and killing/creating processes
that it's a wonder it's working at all.
