Nathan,

You might try out NCSA's latest version of httpd.  Here's the 1st para 
from the README file that comes w/ the distribution:

Documentation for httpd has been moved online. See the URL 
<A HREF="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/">here</A> for online hypertext
documentation including installation instructions, feature list,
demonstration, etc.

I have it on my linux box and it works fine.  Also, I know from first hand 
experience that it's used pretty widely in the government, too (whether 
that's a plus or minus is up to you).

Anyway, good luck!

Chuck
