Apache doesn't have remote administration, as far as I know. Linux has 
remote stuff in general, but you actually have to log into the machine 
running Apache to restart it, and you have to look at the files that Apache 
instance is reading to change the configuration.

There's no tool for Apache, as far as I know, that lets you change the 
configuration on 300 distributed web servers and then sequence a restart of 
them in such a way that you're not killing anyone's page-serve as the 
servers restart. You have to roll your own using scp (or shared directories 
holding the configuration), ssh, etc.  You can't turn off an Apache server 
without logging into the machine where it's running, and you cant change the 
configuration without logging into whatever machine is holding the 
configuration files.
