Well no response, bummer. :)

I went ahead with a slightly different plan that seems to be working better than I expected.

Apache has a module called mod_evasive that will block DoS and DDoS and can communicate with firewalls/routers for futher actions.

This seems like a good way to go as an FYI to anyone finding this post.
