Yep, as you suspected, turning off SELinux got it to work. 

Not my favorite choice, but at least I know what's causing it so I can 
see if I can't figure out how to enable the functionality I desire 
without removing the security features of having SELinux enabled. 

Also, I may consider the perl traceroute option that Terry mentioned.

Thanks for your collective help.

     If anyone can shed a little more light on an easy way to modify the 
SELinux config to allow execution of these progies by the apache user, 
I'd be happy to listen. :)

       Thanks again
          Wes
