optimizing apache for a busy site.

Good morning,

I have been running a very big web site for a few month now and the load is just starting to effect my server with very high loads.

The thing is that it during morning hours 8-11am EST. After noon it usually settles down and I will be able to ssh in.
I can ping/traceroute the machine.

This is my first experience with a very busy site. What are some httpd.conf settings I should be trying?
