I have in the past faked this kind of thing on ethernet by blocking broadcast/multicast frames. if you block broadcasts, machines can no longer find each other, though they communicate just fine if you use static arps. this isn't perfect from a security standpoint if evestropping is employed, but it will keep a casual user from 'pinging around' in their subnet.
disabling inter-client repeating would be a great feature!
later.
