No quite what I meant. I mean, the apache daemon can be running as
apache and the requests to certain Hosts, Locations and Directories
can be run as bob, neil or steve, locally.

readable ?

as you can see - the apache listening processes are run by the user 
'www-data' on my debian machine.  if the files have the standard 
rw-r--r-- permissions that should be fine.  (this means they are 
readable by any user on your system.
i think on slackware the user is 'nobody' and on RH it is something else 
again.
