httpd.conf and other config file should be the same for all servers. You must use same docroot such as /var/www. You must sync /var/www across all the boxes. You can run php4/php5, perl, python etc. Apache 2.2 is stable no problem.
I recommend trying tests in a dummy environment and later move to production.
Good luck
