[c-nsp] Blocking a Mac address at a router interface

If you know the MAC-ADDR for the node you want to block, just use access
list in the 1100-1199 range and deny that mac address from traversing
the default gateway.

As the ARP cache works IP->MAC, not MAC->IP, this isn't going to help.

Something that might work is to monitor the ARP cache, and as soon as 
his MAC address shows up, null-route the corresponding IP address.  But
that needs scripting, and can't be done locally on the router.
