Disable IP addresses NOT assigned accounts

Needs Review

I have a block of IP's assigned to my dedicated server. Only a few of the block are assigned to accounts. There are about 67 IP's free. I use WHMCS to setup hosting, for paid accounts, so I need IP address available on the server for those with dedicated IP in their new hosting plan.

It would be great if there was a way to disable IP addresses that are not assigned to accounts so crawlers and hackers cannot connect to sequential IP's? Then when the IP is actually assigned the IP could be bound to the virtual nic and allow it to respond to network traffic.

It would be a nice feature if the IP addresses added were available in all other parts of the server, but only active when assigned to account.
