    From how many IP addresses/networks? If apache is seeing connections,
    then probably the network addresses (if not the IP addresses as well)
    are real, not spoofed. I think blocking specific addresses as close to
    the source as possible is the accepted solution: talk to your ISP. They
    should be able to block addresses if you can provide them.
