Currently my recommendation is to use a VSD patched kernel for 2.2.x systems
which allows Apache to be run as admin but connect to a port < 1024 (this
avoids vsdredirect and the Apache log errors it creates).

For 2.4 kernels Damion's iptables implementation is preferred as again it
avoids vsdredirect.

The best solution (currently being pursued) is to properly use capabilities
(>RH7.0 only) which will allow Apache to be run as admin with capability to
connect  to a port < 1024 and requires no iptables, no kernel patching and
no vsd-redirect - just a change to the commands in rc.local I believe...
