The most recent version of httpd (Apache 2) in RHEL 5 is 2.2.3. This 
will not likely change until RHEL 6, so if you want this feature you are 
probably best advised to remove the existing one (yum remove httpd) and 
install the latest. You should build your own rpm file for the install, 
so that yum and rpm will know it's there, and just to be safe add httpd 
to yum's "ignore" list.

Cheers,
