Apache in enterprise, patch management

I was wondering how everyone else manages patching/upgrades for apache.

Latest doesnt mean greatest, we typically dont install the newest patches for our OS's. We typically run 3-6 months behind, to let fixes get fixed before installing them.

Does anyone here have a written detailed plan on managing this for apache in enterprise?

NAME
apacheconf - Apache configuration utility SYNTAX
apacheconf DESCRIPTION
This is a new graphical tool to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts. OPTIONS
None FILES
/usr/bin/apacheconf /usr/share/apacheconf/* /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl /var/cache/alchemist/apache/* EXAMPLES
To run this program simply type: apacheconf SEE ALSO
httpd(8) BUGS
Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet. The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual changes to the httpd.conf file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file will be generated. AUTHORS
