i'm working at an isp and we're running gentoo on all of our linux
servers. we have a rather large hosting business and some customers have
their site running on software which is not compatible with php5. if
gentoo decides to drop php4 support for good we would be forced to
either tell our customers to change their hosting provider because we
can no longer provide web servers with php4 or simple replace gentoo
with another distro like centos, redhat or debian where we still would
have php4 support.

Virtualization, no matter what method you choose is a good way to go, also chrooting each server on a hardened (grsecurity/pax patched) kernel might work well also, due to the chroot jail protections within that.  One jail per webapp.  I do sympathize with the poster here on this, hope you are able to find a fitting solution.
