No, the limit is on the number of file descriptors you can have open from one process. I bet once you add up the number of file descriptors (i.e. 1 per IP address, one per log file you have defined in apache) that you will run into the per-process limit that is defined on your machine. Try using the apache 1.2 commands (sorry, I don't have the docs avail right now) to increase the resource limits, specifically the number of file descriptors, and see if that helps.
