Nessus scan caused Apache to die

Hi,

 

I ran a nessus scan on a subnet, and noticed that an apache went down...
While reviewing the logs, it seemed that nessus spammed the apache
server with 1-2 requests per second for an hour.. It clearly was trying
every vulnerability in the book.. I had the 'not-dangerous' option on,
but it wasn't the actual tests, but the sheer quantity that brought it
down.. Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening the next time?
Thanks in advance!
