Wanting to reduce the load that a heavy Apache 2.X server is using

Seems like Apache 2.X is a resource hog. Any way to tame the pig?

I am using close to 347 IPs on one box.

Have you thought about using "Dynamically configured mass virtual hosting"
as described here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/mass.html (if
you're not using it already)?

You could sym link from the VirtualDocumentRoot to your users' current
webstore.

That method of virtual hosts is nice because Apache thinks of that layout at
one virtual host, and sites that don't get much traffic don't have to be
loaded into memory at httpd startup.

You just have to fix and split the resulting log file which isn't too hard.
