With the exception of sniffing the traffic, I've tried everything above. I need to spend time making money. I've switched to one of our backup server. I will pull the box offline for analysis.
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.
