You need to configure rpmforge or another repo for this; it's not part
of the core OS.

Arch   : i386
Version: 1.4.19
Release: 1.el5.rf
Size   : 1.1 M
Repo   : rpmforge

to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set

it the perfect webserver-software for every server that is suffering load
problems.
