AFAIK, the optimal solution is to run the latest php5.3-series as php- 
fpm with NGINX.
It offers the best performance for the dynamic part.

If you got it working, research about using varnish http cache in  
front of Drupal.

High-traffic sites with Drupal require significant effort and a deep  
understanding of the inner workings of Drupal and the modules and  
extensions you use.


And unless there's repository out there that has all this for CentOS,  
it may not be the right platform.
