ok heres the setup, just one domain on the DA server apache 2.4.2 and its running php 5.4 and APC.
system runs well like that,so I will be using php 5.4.

heres the problem, there is a video script (run under subdomain) I use (clipbucket) that requires php 5.3. I have been waiting weeks for an update that just is not materializing, so I need to make it work.

so I think I will need to run php 5.4 fcgi to allow APC and php 5.3 CLI (triggered by htaccess in subdomain for video script) for the video site.

the upcoming custombuild 2 with php-fpm actually would not be best for me, fcgi seems to be best.

so the question is does anyone know what the best (easiest) manner to accomplish this is and how would YOU handle this.
the CB dual php instructions do not seem to hard so I expect no issues there, run 5.4 cgi and enable fcgi correct?
then run 5.3 cli and chmod the subdomain to 755 ?
