you can probably modify your inetd code to bind your external interface
instead of 0.0.0.0 which binds all addresses.   there are even versions
which accept a parameter for it although I dont remember which.

anyway, why do you need it if you already compiled the firewall options in
your kernel ?   just use ipfwadm to set your default inbound rule to deny
or reject after allowing incoming connections on the allowed interface
only.  thats what ipfwadm is for.
