My setup:

interfaces = eth0, lo
bind interfaces only = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.2.,127.
hosts deny = ALL

"bind interfaces only" will make the server ignore packets from any
interfaces not in the "interfaces" list.  hosts allow and hosts deny are
self explanatory. They are used to deny packets based on specific IP
addresses and in function are similar to tcp wrappers.


Does this help?
