Which version of Apache are you running on your server and what modules
are installed and running (like mod_perl, mod_php4, etc.)?

There have been several security vulnerabilities that have cropped up
with Apache < 1.3.26 and 2.0.40, PHP < 4.2.2, etc. Also take a look at
your http-error.log log files (any maybe the http-access.log files to
see if someone is trying to pass in invalid data) to see if it reports
anything or not.
