Dump that customer...

1. No - although you mention no versions, I once tried to use the mod_plsql (version 3.0.8, iirc) with a standard Apache, because I was fed up with the holes in the outdated 1.3.12 Oracle supplied... It's a no-go (basically because Apache was compiled with a newer, incompatible, release of a C compiler).

Later versions of mod_plsql have additional functionality, that relies on the changed/added functionality of Apache by Oracle.

So, I would not bet on it to work, ever.

I have seen some open source mod_plsql replacements, though.

2: No - or it would be called Apache by IBM. :)
