I know I've tried to make it work myself but couldn't.

Vik: apache anyway, can allow/deny access very flexibly. ie: deny rom 1.1.1.1 unless there is a proper user/pass, and stuff. With a little bit of perl/php you can do even more. (mod_perl access handlers are nice)
Although, the webserver doesn't seem like the place to block a dos to me. Even a firewall doesn't help much if they're filling your pipe with inbound traffic. (I once had to deal with 75 mbit/sec inbound traffic - didn't hurt the servers, but filled the pipe so nobody could reach them)
