Ok, here is the deal...
I have a machine with to network interfaces.
eth0 gets all the sniffed data from my network, so I see all inbound and outbound data.
Eth1 is used for management.

If it finds some "suspicious" requests hitting my webserver, and want to block that source IP from sending queries to a webserver in my network... could my box spoof, og reset the "evil" boxes requests some how? And if so, how .. in perl? Im guessing i could send a RST to the evil box, spoofing that i am the webserver he is trying to attack. (All internal network traffic). But how could such a request be crafted through perl?

evil box --- my security box -- webserver
^----RST-------|
