I have a problem with a LAMP server where Apache keeps getting lots of request "POST / HTTP/1.1" but always from new IP addresses. Blocking the IPs using iptables obviously won't help. Any ideas how to block or even reduce this traffic? I cannot install a squid proxy or similar in front of Apache, nor can I install an external firewall. Do I have to contact the ISP where the server is hosted?

As the title of your question implies, DDoS is a Distributed Denial of Services where the attack comes from different sources. The best chance you have at the moment is contact your Service Provider and explain the situation. On your side there are a few steps you could take to at least limit the cause of this DDoS attack.
