disable showing/following hard links...

Look at your operating system and prevent them from existing.

A hard link is exactly what it says it is; once one is created between
the directory /foo and the directory /bar, there is no distinguishing
foo and bar.  They are idential entries pointing to the same mapping
in your file system.

Ain't nothing Apache or any other app can do about it once you allow
them to be created; this is why hardlinking is protected on most
modern operating systems.
