Apache 2 Bandwidth Throttling??

Hello everyone,
I have a situation where I want to server some heavy content (video) from
a colocated host. In order to ensure that I don't go over my quota, I
want to limit bandwidth that Apache serves. As this apache installation
serves a number of other simple websites (which I don't want to
bandwidth-limit), I need to find some way to throttle the bandwidth for
this ONE site.
Apache 1.3 has mod_throttle and mod_bandwidth, but so far nothing for
Apache 2.0.
Is there a way to tell apache to SEND data on a certain IP address just
for one virtualhost? In the past I attempted to tell Apache to listen on
a certain different IP (to which I have a traffic shaper attached), and it
did, but it served all of its content from the machine's main IP.
I'm currently working on duplicating the apache configuration so that I
can have another handful of httpd's running just to serve this site
through my traffic-shaped IP. I'd rather not as this takes up more RAM.
Thanks,
--Josh
