No, you can't completely ignore HTTP requests. Apache has to do something with them. Yes, you can reject those requests using something like <LimitExcept GET POST> Order allow,deny Deny from all </LimitExcept> But be careful where you place this block, since it will override any other access controls. Yes, you can prevent these requests from being logged using conditional logging: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#conditional But you shouldn't do that. You'll never know if you are being attacked or if there are some problems with your site involving other methods.
