What if you specified certain neighbors as non-broadcast types? I know
this works when configuring OSPF in an ethernet environment and being
that they are on the same subnet you will still be able to ping if this
is a requirement.

Sanjay are you looking for a similiar function to EIGRP's neighbor
statement? Let us know you have my thought process triggered!
