I've extended the original blog for the Shorewall Firewall / Proxmox: http://www.myatus.co.uk/2010/03/20/g...ending-its-us/

Scroll down to the "Mixed use and bridging" section, "Policy Warnings" paragraph. You can effectively block traffic to a VM running on its own IP/(Virtual) MAC with this (and then have special rules for things that are allowed, of course).

Shorewall is iptables-based, so essentially you can achieve the same by doing a DROP on the FORWARD chain, then opening just whatever you need.
