Specifying multiple IPs to listen for inetd

Hi,

by default inetd listen to every IP found on a system. When run with
argument -a it can be bind to 1 IP address. But how can I let it bind to
some IP address, and not all?

Thanks in advanced,

I think the answer is iptables, or hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

If you really want to bind to some interfaces, not IPs, then the only
solution I know it's to use iptables to allow and disallow access.
