Ah. then what you probably want is the mod_perl proxy trick.  Basically,
you don't want RT bloating your front-end web server.  Instead, use 
mod proxypass to hand off anything destined for /rt/ to an apache 
process tuned for RT running on a high port bound to the local interface.

This is actually what I do for fsck.com/rt2/ 

In my main httpd.conf, I have this:

ProxyPass /rt2/ http://localhost:9876/rt2/


Then I have a seperate apache process running on port 9876 on localhost.
It works like a charm.

I run mysql here, actually.
