Note that it appears that NSX-T has a concept called "Transport Zones" that enables the feature that is being requested here. Compute nodes within a given transport zone will only be able to communicate with compute nodes within that same transport zone. This prevents network traffic from being sent between zones. More information here:

NSX-T also supports Availability Zones, but it appears that those are separate from the Transport Zone functionality:

It's possible that limiting tunneling traffic to a particular AZ may be outside the intended functions of Neutron AZs, but I think this is a valid use case.
