Have you considered giving nginx a run? you could set this up as a reverse proxy mitigating requests for apache running on localhost:8080 or whatever you desire. nginx is much more capable of handling this sort of situation, and you might have more leverage towards selectively/accurately (to a degree) filtering the illegitimate requests out. maybe, maybe not.. but this is one of the roles nginx was built for, so I imagine it might get you a little further than apache so far.. :) ~Jason
