the bridge thing is not possible.. the network is too big.. 300 machines.. with over 30 switches (only one of them is manageable) :( Basically I want to deny ethertype 0800 (IPv4) packets for that LAN. The only solution I thought of was to have a linux machine in this LAN that has all the possible IP addresses set on its interface.
Look, we can't help you until you explain the problem
WHY is it not possible to have a bridge? This only requires two network cards?
I want to block the traffic between _ANY_ 2 of the machines in the network.
How about giving them a netmask of /32 instead of /24 (or whatever you have) so that they only see themselves in the same network and then giving them a static route to the default gw (since it is outside of the /32).
Then you can block all inter-client traffic at that single default gateway (or one hop "in front" of it, seen from the clients)
