It might be helpful for me to explain this approach in a bit more detail. It divides a single physical network into multiple logical sections, where the machines in one section can't access those in another section. It's possible to set up routing between the sections to provide limited access between the sections for specific purposes.

With this approach, you'd need to put your audio server, audio renderer and control point in one section, and put the other machines that you want to exclude from having access to your audio server in the other section.

I like the principal but I couldn't find a comprehensible description of how to achieve it. I did try.
