I can't think of a way except for controlling the firewall.

Some time ago I suggested an enhancement that would allow an 'accept' 
to specify one of the computer's IP addresses to listen on.  I see no 
indication that such an enhancement is coming (I don't even remember if 
I moved it to bugzilla, when bugzilla came), but it might be that such 
a feature would allow what you want, if it would allow listening on 
127.0.0.1.

But of the real and what we have now...  I come up short.
