Yup, thousands of little servers with less than 100 httpd children on each is how the biggest web load in the world is handled.
I completely agree and think this is the way to do it. The only point to consider might be KeepAlive which binds processes without using any CPU/IO resources really. Maybe they could just switch off KeepAlive and have only 100 processes running :-)
Or long static files which take forever to download without using CPU but that could easily be off-loaded to a light-weight http daemon.
To me it sounds like they could use some consulting, maybe someone on this list could earn some money there :-)
