Sorry, this is not well-thought and certainly has potential for abuse. This is on IP and not domain? What is the signing authority and cryptography mechanism preventing a spoofed request?

When you send a "reject" packet, the imtermediate routers send back a confirmation code. You must send this code back to them to confirm that "reject" packet comes from your IP address. No cryptography or signing required.

I don't think you understand how networking operates at a packet level.
