A few alternative thoughts:

Is the server overloaded, so you need to stop the DDOS before it gets to the server? You could potentially throttle concurrent connections upstream at your firewall, assuming you have one upstream of your server.
If you have something less public (for your use only) - you could try security by obscurity, and move the port you've exposed your apache server on (move it from TCP port 80/443 to 90/7443 or something). If it isn't a managed DDOS, the bots won't generally find you again. To use it, the url becomes site:90/path It's an emergency workaround, but probably not a good long-term fix.

emp_hub

emp_hub(6)							   Games Manual 							emp_hub(6)

NAME

       emp_hub - Empire multiplexer

SYNOPSIS

       emp_hub [-persistent] [-debug] [-help] [-mirror] host port localport

DESCRIPTION

       emp_hub	allows	multiple  clients  to  simultaneously  connect to a single Empire country.  This allows you to use both a fast and a smart
       client simultaneously.  It also permits multiple corulers to log in at once.

   Parameters
       host	   Hostname of the upstream server.

       port	   TCP/IP port number the empire server is running on.

       localport   TCP/IP port number the emp_hub should listen to for incoming client connections.

       -mirror	   Copy commands and replies to all clients using new protocols.  Currently only the lafe client  is  aware  of  these	protocols,
		   though most clients will ignore them.

       -persistent Normally  emp_hub  exits  after  the  last  client  disconnects.  With this option emp_hub does not exit, and will wait for new
		   clients to connect.	emp_hub must be killed by the user using the kill command.

       -help	   Brief usage information.

       -debug	   Print lots of messages, including everything sent and received by a client.	Useful when debugging either emp_hub ,	a  client,
		   or the server.

BUGS

       Due  to	the  nature  of  the empire protocol, only one client may have input focus at one time.  If a client pauses at a context sensitive
       prompt from the server, all other clients will be unable to send data.
