OK, I made some changes. We now have a stanza that looks like this. [1] I played with the <Proxy></Proxy> directive a bit. The result was to have requests return as 404. With the RewriteRule they all return 403. [2] Our log file is growing at about ~20M an hour. There are LogFormat directives in apache2.conf, but no CustomLog directory. It has rolled over onto another file once in the past (i.e. other_vhosts_access.log.1 from other_vhosts_access.log), but I'm not sure from where.
I take it that with the 403 requests shown in the log [2] that the pressure is off the Jenkins server but not off our logging apparatus. I think it is clear that the apache2.conf file we received is shorter than usual, shorter than the httpd.conf I'm used to in CentOS. And that with the high amount of traffic we are experiencing, we seem to be in a shipping lane.
