Does it? There's mod_fastcgi in rpmforge but I don't feel quite comfortable with packages from this repo.

What's the story with php-fpm on centos 6? There's a php-fpm rpm for centos 6 in epel but other essential mods like mod_fastcgi or mod_proxy_fcgi seem to be missing from the repos I'm usually using. Need a push in right direction.
mod_fastcgi is extremely old and dead. If I remember it is superseded by mod_fcgid which became part of the Apache core and actively maintained (or something, sry this is from memory many years ago)
mod_proxy_fcgi is also very much dead. Not updated since 2006.
EPEL has mod_fcgid in it and you should absolutely use it, along with suexec, if you need fcgi process mamagement for php-cgi.
When using php-fpm you do not need any of the above modules as the above modules are fpms that interact with cgi processes having fastcgi support (such as php-cgi).
php-fpm IS an fpm, written by PHP team. If you want to use php-fpm as the fpm you merely need to use mod_proxy as-is since php-fpm is pretty much a stand alone server - you just proxy your php request to it with ProxyPass.
For simple servers like pure PHP you may benefit greatly speed wise from Nginx, and support from PHP software (WordPress / Drupal etc) is now very wide. For huge feature sets, modules, and variety, Apache though.
Hope this helps. I'd been running LAMP stacks for over 6 years and LNMP for last 2.
