That's why I said, if it's easy. On some server stacks it's no big deal to have a connection open for an extra 30 seconds; others, you need to be done with requests asap, even abuse.
tcpdrop shouldn't self DOS though, it's using less resources. Even if other end does a retry, it will do it after a timeout; in the meantime, the other end has a socket state and you don't, that's a win.
