Have you looked into using lighttpd instead of Apache?

lighttpd can handle a LOT more concurrent users than Apache.

You can easily limit the number of concurrent connections used by IP
with a single command (evasive.max-conns-per-ip = 8) for those guys
who are intent on using download accelerators.

You can easily limit the bandwidth used by connection
(connection.kbytes-per-second = 150) or by virtual host
(server.kbytes-per-second = 300).

The most difficult thing is porting your configuration over.
