Is it possible to block a specific IP address such that they get 404 "Not found" no matter what URL they try?

I don't want to use "Deny From" or other IP address blocking schemes, because that will just alert them to the fact that I have my shields up.
I just want this particular IP address to think that my website is completely empty.
And yes, it is a fixed IP address, so it's worth doing. It will cause them a lot more grief to negotiate a different IP address, and hopefully they will abandon their probing.

Then they'll stop pestering my server with request that all fail
