Hi Sander,
Thanks for the inputs.
We are having a production server that just stops processing requests
over a period of time.
To minimize the downtime, we would like to forcefully core dump apache
(when it stops processing requests) and then gdb the core file at a
later point of time.
Is there any command we can use for this?

1) The shell that starts httpd needs to have ulimit -c set
2) Set the CoreDumpDirectory directive in httpd.conf to point to a
directory where httpd child processes can write (needs to be
writable by the username set in your User directive
3) After starting your server with the above in place, attach to your
problem child process with gdb and use the bt command
