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.

snnewgroup

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)

NAME

       snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port.  If port is not specified, defaults to 119.  If server is
       also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.

       You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

FILES CREATED

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup
	      Directory where articles will be stored.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
	      Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
	      Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port.	The value is initialized to 0.

       /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
	      If server is specified, is a symlink to  /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does  not  already
	      exist.  If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created.  See also snsend.
