multiple httpd processes

[kistler]

I updated my server to Centos 3.x from RH9 and now I am looking at multiple httpd processes in top as well as they are running as nobody, before there use to be just one listed in top running as root. How do I go about getting this back to the way it use to act,or is this how Centos runs things - thanks for any help

This is normal. There is nothing wrong with that.
