Are you sure? If you simply don't run an identd, the queries will get
an instant connection refused error. That's even faster than sending
back a bogus response.
The only way a long timeout can occur is if you have a filter rule
installed that drops the incoming packets without responding to them.
You can block the incoming packets but still avoid the timeout with a
filter rule that sends back a reset:
add reset tcp from any to any auth setup in via etha16
