If you are using multiple logfiles in Apache (rather than logging to a single file which is then split into multiple files at a later date/time) you will be holding hundreds of file handles open for each log that is open, in addition to the file handles required for the bound sockets. BTW, there's web servers other than Apache, you don't *have* to bind individually to each IP address...
