There are commercial tools from Mercury and BMC that will monitor a web sites health, but they aren't cheap. If you simply want to see if its alive, you could use an application server to send an HTTP request like GET / and test to make sure you get a response and that the status is 200 ok and if it doesnt respond or sends something other than 200 Ok the process could e-mail or page someboday. I wouldn't use the same application server that sits behind Apache to monitor apache.
