You might consider putting in a static mac address entry in the switch on 
a port that has a l2 switch connected to it.  From there, it may be 
possible to drop the servers that need to see the stream into that server. 
If more flooding happens on that switch it's not a concern since isolated. 
Perhaps, instead of having just one switch do this you could do it with a 
limited few.  Maybe not the most elegant, but a technically sound option 
nonetheless.
