Apache does this, if you ask it. Make the 1st named virtual host (the default, or fallback host) ServerName example.com, and then completely blackhole all requests through a trivial AliasMatch .* -> /htdocs/noaccess.html. If there is no Host: or a worthless Host: header from the browser/spider/ malicious user, there will be nothing to serve for that user.
