since noone answered to my post about apache mod_proxy missing in 8.04 I am assuming that people secure their apache with other means... what ways do people out there are using?

Depends on what you mean by "secure".

For me, I run it on the most secure operating system in the world, OpenBSD, and it's CHROOTed. That's enough. how paranoid do you want to be?

Good thing you pointed this to me.. I just realized that what I am looking for is mod_security.. Hmm I wonder where I find that.
