multicast at the data layer (layer 2) non-flooding ?

Hi,
I am looking into multicast in a private network at the data layer.
Basically what I need is multicast which is not flooded within a LAN.
Therefore, if there are 5 hosts connected to a router, I would like to
do layer 2 multicast such that 4 hosts in the network for example can
be in a multicast group without host 5 hearing any of the traffic. I
believe multicast at the data layer does this.
This is a general network question and not related to linux, but I
could not find a general networking group on usenet that is active and
seems to have intelligent readers!
Thank you!
George
