secure Apache build question

["Haseeb Chaudhary" <haseeb.chaudhary () FXALL com>]

Hi All,

I'm looking at building Apache web servers on Solaris and/or Linux. I've been assigned the task of ensuring the build 
is secure against known vulnerabilities and attack types.

I'm a newbie to Apache and would greatly appreciate some links or advice on an easy way to securely build Apache web 
servers  - hopefully in a scripted way. The webservers will eventually go into production and will be facing the 
internet. I expect to place them behind Arrowpoint load-balancers.

All advice would really be appreciated!

thanks inadvance, Haseeb
