Hello,
Perhaps a rather funny solution but... I know that you can define
specific pages for error codes, in apache. I won't write any directive
but how about you define /dev/null as the page displayed when a user
hits a 403 url ? there will still be an open door to a DOS, but there
will be a reduction of bandwith. Or simpler, you define a page with no
text in it...
Might sounds scratchy, but...

It's a constant struggle to keep ahead of them. We
use a variety of strategies (honeytraps, user agent,
cookies, behavioural heuristics).
Although these methods sounds cool (and we use them
too, as I wrote) they still waste the bandwidth (on
sending 403-responses). And bandwidth is rather
expensive with high-quality hosting providers (that's
why I asked for a better method to deal with this
issue).
If current (often outdated) standards do not allow us
to solve everyday issues, then they must be changed
(not adored or worshipped).
