Yes, there are people who use other web servers. Look at the percentage for
nginx in Netcraft's latest survey, for instance:

You are aware of Apache 2.0's release timeline, right?
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/ap2
It was released on April 6th 2002. That's over seven years ago. It has since
been superceded by Apache 2.2, released in December 2005.
Maybe, just *maybe*, it's time to upgraded your legacy Apache 1.3 setup(s)?
Thanks,
