Hi,
my bandwidth is running up like crazy, and i can't think of what i
can do, other then change ips.
I'm getting constant http requests, and they seem to be "real" so it is running up lots of bandwidth and spawning httpd alot...

I plan on changing ips, but I would like to know if there are any other solutions? I can't think of what else can i do?

Can anyone help?

I think you might be subject to a DOS attack. Contact your upstream provider.

Are they valid requests or are they simple Syn-Ack connects?

If valid, just make a null-byte file in your web root so you don't spawn processes like crazy.

If invalid, run a packet mangler in front of apache to only allow valid rules.
