Thanks again.
When you did the top command was there one httpd process in particular that was consuming all of the CPU, or were all of the httpd's using a lot of CPU?

The number one cause of the symptoms you are describing is a looping ErrorDocument 404. Meaning a 404 page was pointing to a page that did not exist thus causing Apache to spin out of control.
