Oh, that i might not remember your original post correctly. Lets see ...
Well, yeah you are right, you never said you wanted to redirect but just
reject. Ok, my fault.
Then you could just put a proxy in between. Run your Apache on 8080 and
run a reverse proxy like apache or squid on 80. But I doubt, that you
would be happy with it, because it will eat up resources.
Make a long thread short:
There is no good way to do it on one machine. Since you are using Apache
and not IIS, you will be fine. If the log messages annoy you, bad luck.
This is just life if you don't filter the request first using a proxy.
Cheers,
Ralf
