Perhaps it's time to change hosters? I somewhat like this setup as it uses a central server and a bunch of quite powerful machines that run the scripts. And I can see why they did not upgrade the server. Apache 1.3 works, 2.0 does not offer any additional features for CGI configurations and it is not patched to support this setup. Still putting the repository elsewhere is an option.
