Am thinking you are approaching it the wrong way.

Not familiar with the specifics of a ProCurve switch but that's a high
end unit, not a Netgear. I would expect you could configure the switch
to disallow the MAC addresses from talking to each other of hostA and
hostB.

Furthermore, it would be even easier to disallow hostB from within
hostA's firewall. And do the same at hostB.
