AFAIK you can't do this directly with the Solaris inetd. You
could use a firewalling tool (like ipf) to only allow the
required connections on the specified interface(s), or I
believe xinetd can do this itself, so you could use xinetd
instead.

you can't do it directly, but you can use tcpwrappers to allow traffic to
that service from only the networks served by that interface.

Xinetd does this and more. Check out http://www.xinetd.org
