apache2-mpm-itk is a stock debian package, and PHP (4 & 5) work well with it - both the modules (libapache2-mod-php4 or libapache2-mod-php5) and the CGI (php4-cgi or php5-cgi). you'll need to do your own load testing to see if it can cope with the kind of load you expect on your servers. i can't imagine that it would be significantly worse than plain apache2-mpm-prefork. craig
