CentOS - Nov 2010 - httpd RPM newer than 2.0.63 avail for CentOS 4.x?

I'm maintaining an internet-facing web server which is now running httpd
2.0.63 (httpd-2.0.63-2.el4s1.centos.2) which is now neary 2.5 years
old(!?!).  I need to move to either 2.0.64 or 2.2.12 or later.  However,
I've been unable to find available RPMs for such releases for CentOS
4.x.

I have to believe that others have these needs also.  In light of this,
how do others keep up with security upgrades for the httpd?  I'm rather
new to this aspect of things, so am still in the process of sorting
things out in this regard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Red Hat backports security updates (from newer versions).  So long as
you have been applying the standard O/S updates (eg 'yum update')
regularly, your http is up-to-date WRT security updates.
