This is not an "Apache answer", but it may help you. Do the IPs vary too much, or can you set up a firewall rule to block incoming requests (any requests) from those IP ? Sort of your own very personal "black list"? Of course, should that address decide to post a legitimate request, it would get blocked but hey, who told them to mess up the first time? On the other hand, on http://www.dnsstuff.com/ you can find info on IP addresses on the net. Who and were they are, if they belong to spam lists, etc
But of course, you probably don't want to play whack-a-mole with these IP addresses. What I'd suggest is implementing the per-IP connection rule in your firewall. I don't know anything about ubuntu's firewall package, but most of them can do this.
