Unless I'm wrong [why do I bother with that prefix when it is always 
applicable?], the RPM upgrade only has 0.9.6 + a few patches, so it is 
still the 2-year old version.  However, to be absolutely sure, it would be 
best to recompile apache from source with the latest openssl.  To do so, 
follow the instructions on http://www.modssl.org/example/.

You'll need to stop your regular Apache before starting the new one, as 
they both can't bind to the same port (alternatively, you could configure 
the second Apache for something like port 3000 and then test on that port 
without interfering with your regular Apache).  Good luck.
