I'm starting to think that MAC-address-filtering ability would be
a VERY useful addition for this sort of thing, esp. if it could be
written as:
access 200 deny ip any host 198.7.0.2 src-mac 0000.1111.2222
access 200 permit ip any any
I think this isn't very possible given the IOS architecture;
hopefully I'm wrong.
