In a routed network, sending their traffic to a Null interface would do the trick. Figure out how to achieve the same thing on your gateway router. If it's Linux/UNIX, use your firewall to block bidirectional traffic to/from that IP address. If it's a regular router, block outbound access via an ACL, and inbound access through a blackhole route.
