How to ignore invalid requests - Apache

Is there any way to configure Apache to programatically examine a request and cancel the response if the request is invalid. I mean, my intention is to skip responding and just disconnect the client. I'm currently developing a fault-tolerance server fronted by Apache which needs to (stakeholder requirement) ignore answering requests which aren't authorize (I can't even send 401). If I can't use Apache, is there any other way to do it?

Continuation of above comments ...

I dont know how much control you have in JBoss over headers and output sent to the browser, but you can mimic an closed/aborted request like this. From within an application.

Send these Headers, flush and stop all output:

HTTP/1.0 204 No Content
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html

For example, this is the recommended method the Amazon API suggests as a response to any call that does not want a response.
