Linux Ethernet Bridging - Jul 2009 - [Bridge] Help Needed for ebtables.

Hi All,
We are 
planning to add a feature to not allow the hosts connected to the same gateway 
to communicate with each other ? Would ebtables be a good option to implement 
(on the gateway) it. Could we do it by adding a rule in the ebtables for 
dropping a frame based on it?s destination MAC address if it is there in the 
list of forbidden MACs. We could add to this list the MAC address of each 
station that joins the network. Let me know what you think
Please let me know if you want any other details about my setup. Please provide
me help on this topic.
Thanks and regards,
Rahul Bhardwaj
