You could bind apache to a dummy interface on a different IP then 'route' 
traffic through the shaper device. It was just installed automatically on 
my laptop's RedHat 7.2 system. Looking through the doco's suggests it 
hasn't had much done to it lately.

Summary     : A configuration tool for setting traffic bandwidth 
parameters.
Description :
The Shapecfg program configures and adjusts traffic shaper bandwidth
limiters. Traffic shaping means setting parameters or limit to which
network traffic should conform--setting limitations on bandwidth
consumption.

To use Shapecfg, you must have also installed the kernel which
supports the shaper module (kernel versions 2.0.36 or later and late
2.1.x kernels).

Install the shapecfg package if you want to set traffic bandwidth
parameters, and if you have the appropriate kernel.
