    Snort itself will do this with the Flex Resp plug-in. A rule that keys on
    the specific content indicating this referal can call on Flex Resp to send a
    spoofed RST's to both sides of the connection; ICMP <whatever> unreachables
    can also be sent. Flex Resp is based on the LibNet packet writing library.
