Create a separate jail on the system and put mysql in that.  Make the  
address of this mysql jail be 192.168.1.1 or something like that.   
The apache jail will be able to reach it but the outside won't.

You should still have a firewall of some sort.

Using the socket option is better as it probably also performs better  
(I don't know this for sure -- am just guessing)
