With respect, of course I understand what you were asking.

OK.  You cannot expect someone else's precompiled binaries to precisely
match your particular circumstances, so you're choosing to give that up
in favor of convenience, but that is a reasonable decision if the value
of configuring the webserver well for the site is less than the value of
a few hours of your (or someone's) time.

OK.

You haven't indicated anything so far which would suggest the general
documentation was insufficient.  What have you tried?

With respect, I can recall when Brian Behlendorf and Andrew Wilson and
some other folks started collecting a bunch of patches to the NCSA
webserver, which became known as Apache-0.60 back around 1994, and
later was publicly released in 1995 as Apache-0.70 or so.  

Well, there are other folks who deal with webservers at sites for which
the cost of downtime is measured in the millions of dollars per hour
from whom you can seek advice....
