Actually it turns out to be incredibly easy to fix this in Apache. (As long as you are running at least version 1.3 or greater.) In httpd.conf, look for a directive called "ServerTokens". If it is not there, add it in. (Should be located near "ServerType". Change it to: ServerTokens prod Restart the server after making the change. This will return "Apache" instead of "Apache 1.3.23 mod_perl 6.6.6, etc".
