Dropping a packet via paketfilter still leaves arp-resolution intact. Therefore
intermediate routers (or your log-client) will not generate a "host unreachable"
or something similar. It would be up to the associated tcp-client (rsyslogd in 
this
case) to detect subsequent connection failures and flag an error. Your OS can`t 
do
anything about this situation.
Maybe dropping arp-resolution for that particular client or server could 
simulate an
more accurate "syslog-server has died"? :)
