httpd needs to be restarted so that time it will be offline.
We tested it and our server was offline while compiling for about 4/5 minutes
5 minutes to restart httpd? 
Well, i was wondering so because the compiling takes really long.
Was thinking if i needed to write my own customapache that uses rpm to build packages, and then installs those for zero downtime. Because i've got no experience with using manual compiles..

You don't have to take down apache while rebuilding. During the rebuild process everything will work as it is supposed to. Nothing is down during the rebuild. The only down time will be during the apache restart which for most people will be a few seconds. If you have hundreds of domains it could take a minute.
