ebtables (http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/) is good for this, but it is possible to use iptables under some conditions: http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/examples.html#ex_anti-spoof

You can extend the ebtables example to include a "--in-interface" match to pin the MAC/IP address pair to a specific device, but, of course, you'd have to do this at the time the domain is created.

I can't remember the circumstances under which iptables filtering will work, but I know it often doesn't because iptables doesn't see bridge traffic. There's lots more about this in the ebtables documentation.
