While some of the daemons are growing flags to bind only to specified
addresses, it turns out to be unwise to depend on that capability alone to
protect a fileserver. If you want to do NFS securely, you need to protect the
network by using a firewall which prevents source-routing and address spoofing
of internal hosts.
