Not really. ARP happens in layer 3, while the flooding of the switch 
or bridge happens on layer 2. I think you could filter with ebtables 
though.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not familiar with 
arptables and ebtables).

Hi Thomas,

You are correct. I meant to say ebtables, not arptables :)

Thanks
