It *can* be, but one wouldn't want to do it that way. The reason being
is that for *each incoming request*, httpd would start, serve the
request, and then die. Keep in mind that the page itself is one
request, as well as each graphic on the page.
If you, say, only want people within your organization to be able to
view your pages (*.domain.tld, for example) and it won't be serving up
more than a couple pages a minute, it might not be a bad idea.
Otherwise, you really want it to run as a stand-alone service. (You
might even be able to specify domains in some httpd configuration file
like with tcp wrappers, but I don't know, as I've not set up a web
server either, although I may get some practice with that soon.)
It might not be a bad idea to check the inetd.conf, though, to make sure
it's not being run as a wrapped service (although I doubt that RH would
setup their default configuration that way). And don't forget to
'killall -HUP tcpd' if you make changes to inetd.conf.
Have a lot of fun, :)
