I would also strongly recommend the event mpm over prefork, in any scenario. The fact that you are trying to tweak prefork likely means that you inherited a legacy prefork and mod_php configuration, which is just not going to cut it any more. For dynamic requests, look into fcgi.
Having a separate machine with httpd, and dynamic content servers is likely to scale far better, I agree with that suggestion. At some point, you will saturate your I/O subsystem, and that means terrible performance for all services on that host.
