before you go increasing things, you should find out if all your current clients are getting maxed out...

I would suggest enabling /server-status (and extended server-status) - in your main apache conf (eg /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), which you are having trouble editing :P

Code:

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from YOUR.IP.ADDRESS
</Location>

reload apache (apachectl graceful)

then hit up your server in a browser
http://domain.com/server-status

here's an example on a server getting 7million+ hits per day:

Code:

Current Time: Monday, 22-Nov-2010 22:52:00 PST
Restart Time: Sunday, 21-Nov-2010 12:14:42 PST
Server uptime: 1 day 10 hours 37 minutes 18 seconds
Total accesses: 12477227 - Total Traffic: 5.1 GB
CPU Usage: u362.83 s40.11 cu2.06 cs0 - .325% CPU load
100 requests/sec - 43.2 kB/second - 442 B/request
12 requests currently being processed, 22 idle workers

As you can see there are lots of idle children ready to take up the slack if/when there's a surge....
