Next, configure Apache to execute the PHP for each virtual host as user unique to that virtual host (and different from the user who owns the files for that virtual host).  There are several ways to do this, including suEXEC, FastCGI, and reverse proxies.  For more information, see http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PrivilegeSeparation

I use the (experimental) ITK MPM (http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/).

It allows you to specify the user that a particular vhost is running as.

I recommend that option (as does linode <http://library.linode.com/web-servers/apache/installation/ubuntu-10.10-maverick#multi_processing_module> ).
