I believe these are making a request to / on your apache server.
Assuming whatever is at / (your home page?) is resource intensive and 
causing your problems, you could try using mod_rewrite to redirect those 
requests to something small and static.
Maybe something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*internal\ dummy\ connection.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ /small_static.html [L]

There's probably some better redirects to handle this (assuming your / 
resource is the problem), but the above might help.

Hello el kalin,

For what it's worth, I think that ::1 is the loopback interface address 
for IPv6 just as 127.0.0.1 is for IPv4.
So your samples do have an IP address (::1).

Thanks,

Mike Rumph

all the examples on line have an ip number (at least 127.0.0.1) in front
too. mine doesn't..
