[nsp] ARP filtering

Hi,

We limit customers in shared VLANs by filtering IP addresses on the 
switch. ie.

ip access-list ex CUST_EXAMPLE
  permit ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.31
  deny ip any any

However, it's my understandig that this will still allow ARP replies from
outside the specified IP range, that will populate the MAC address tables
in the switch and the end-station/router. For ingress ACLs this could
result in traffic being sent to the rouge machine (but never being allowed
back), or in the case of ingress and egress ACLs, the dropping all
traffic.

Is there anyway to stop this happening?

Sam
