does the stock apache in CentOS 4.5 - ie 2.0.52 come compiled in 'Pre-Fork' mode? I ask as we have an app that needs to run against apache and this needs to run in 'Worker Mode' as opposed to 'Pre Fork'

If this is the case then i guess i will need to rebuild it from the .src.rpm but can anyone let me know for sure?

Look at the init script:

# Set HTTPD=/usr/sbin/httpd.worker in /etc/sysconfig/httpd to use a # server with the thread-based "worker" MPM; BE WARNED that some modules # may not work correctly with a thread-based MPM; notably PHP will # refuse to start.
