Hi,
Regarding filtering zones/ networks from routing updates.

The Mac desktops learn the zones through a GET-ZONE-LIST request to the
router. So if you want to prevent the router from giving its full zone list
to the desktops, you would use the "getzonelist-filter" on the ethernet
interface (the interface on which the router receives GET-ZONE-LIST
requests) of the routers.

Routers learn of zones through a ZIP request to its neighbors. The neighbor
would respond with a ZIP reply. This ZIP reply packet would consist of zone
names known to the neighbor. If you want to prevent the router from
learning certain zones/networks from its neighbors, then you use a
"zip-reply-filter" on the neighbor router (the interface on which the
neighbor receives the ZIP request)

Hope this helps with your objective
