I've had great success streaming flash video from Apache.  Here's a
link the post I did a while back:

I think the results are surprising watchable over the Internet.  I've
used it while on vacation away from home and it's very nice.  I've had
a few shows that I shared with friends who where just amazed that it
was possible.
