I'd say you need to read up a lot more on apache configuration.
There are some one line config changes that will allow you to limit the number of connection per IP address and there are compile time options for how many connections to handle per thread.
Lighttpd is great if you have limited resources, but being single threaded and 'Select' based it gets really bogged down under high load(A single thread checking for events on 100,000 sockets means high latency).
