Sounds like you're after a bridge with IP filtering capabilities.

However, I suspect that IP Filter _may_ be able to work this way but you'd
need to setup fake ARP entries in your kernels/routers.  How can it do
this ?  It can do limited bridging/routing so long as the packets come
in the interface in non-promiscous mode (and are IP).  I don't know of
anyone using that exact scenario, but it allows this to make it
invisible to traceroute style tools.  It runs best on a FreeBSD or NetBSD
Unix box and has fully fledged access control lists for TCP/IP filtering.
