We'd like to isolate a few machines from the rest of our LAN without 
renumbering them into a subnet.

In 1999 Tim Limoncelli wrote a very interesting article titled "Tricks you 
can play if your firewall is a bridge". Section 6 appears to outline just 
what we are looking for. It is up on the Usenet website at:

    http://static.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedings/neta99/full_papers/limoncelli/limoncelli.pdf

I was wondering if anyone knew of firewall hardware or software with these 
capabilities, of if ordinary open source software such as iptables or 
pfsense could do these things. Tim only mention Lucent hardware. Where 
would we look?

Thanks
