I don't know about Apache, but with lightppd or ngnix in the front you could 
modify static middleware not to stream the file, but instead return empty 
respone with X-Sendfile header - then lighty or nginx would pick up the file 
and stream it to client.

The header has sligthly different name and meaning in one of those servers, I 
don't recall which one.
