The sockets API doesn't provide the requesting IP to the server until 
accept() returns, so this speculation is not very likely.

There are some APIs that allow the server to check the requesting IP 
before accepting the connection.  If they reject it, the stack sends an 
RST to the client and the socket should go into CLOSED state.
