feature request: drop connection without response

I'm thinking of something like Nginx's 444. It would be great to be able to
close certain connections without a response with a mod_rewrite flag and/or via
any of the other components/directives where it makes sense.

My HTTPD is behind a load balancer and I only see the client IP as a header.
Sometimes I want to block malicious client IPs at HTTPD. I do not control the
load balancer.

The best thing I've found so far is giving 403s with [F,L] via a rewrite
expression and ipmatch.

I'm guessing this would already be a feature if it wasn't very difficult to
implement?

I'm interested to learn more about why this could or couldn't be done.

Thanks!
