Compatible with Mac OS X Server 10.6?

OK, that's good to know. My only issue is SSL, since Apache is not a security risk at this point. Now, the thing is, I did compile from source the latest version of OpenSSL (1.0.0d)... I did that a couple days ago, and I thought that that was enough. I added the new binary to the PATH (/usr/local/ssl/bin)... But then I checked Apache/PHP and noticed they still were reporting the old version. 

So I guess my first question is, do I need to simply configure Apache somewhere to use the newer OpenSSL now installed?

- or -

Can I simply build mod_ssl for Apache and somehow hook that up while continuing to enjoy the benefits of Apple's magical Server Admin and other web-related services?

I see mod_ssl in httpd.conf (LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache2/mod_ssl.so), is that what needs to be updated as well? 

If so, can anyone recommend a good walkthrough for compiling a newer mod_ssl based on the latest source?

This will probably get MP's apache to provide the same content as Apple's, but there might be slight differences between the two versions that may cause issues, so keep an eye on your error_log to see if that is the case (I know there were some changes for FollowSymlinks behavior in apache that recently bit me where newer versions would only follow if the symlinks owner matched the owner of the target).
