Whilst practical, this isn't strictly true, you could add per-subnet routes to each machine with an interface as the destination. In the case of subnetting for security though a router, firewall or multihomed machine serving as a router would be best. I have, in the past done such subnetting on a single network to make traffic source and destinations obvious without routing, but it's unusual and I pitty the person who finds a network like that without explaination.
