dealing with DOS attack

Right now someone is doing a DOS attack on my server via ApacheBench. I created a .htaccess file and put the IP address of the offending system and I emailed a cease and disist email to the offending computer's ISP.

My server is still a little sluggish right now so I'm wondering if I can do anything else in Apache 2.

Also, is it possible to block the IP address from BIND instead of from APache?
