I take it your only testing from that machine / local network???
Could you not restrict the webserver to just run on an internal IP???

No - I don't have a static IP.. I do not use it as a public webserver, I
only use it as a test server before I upload it to the real webserver,
but there is an automated tool at eeye.com that lets you scan an entire IP
address range.. they used it to scan their own. It tells you which IP
addresses have a web server, and which have not been patched yet.. they are
using it to find webservers on their connection.
