Limiting postmaster to listen in a particular ip address only

Hi,

I have two NICs in my machine i want that postmaster shud only listen to the
internal NIC . I cannot limit it to listen in  unix domain sockets only
because
it needs to be accessed from other machine inside LAN.

Is there any way to accomplish it or a restrictive pg_hba.conf is the only
solution ?

Most of the servers ( like bind,apache) provide the facitly  of accepting
connections only on particular ip addresses / interfaces shud postmaster
also provide the same (in case its not so)?

Regds

See virtual_host (or listen_addresses in 8.0).

In PostgreSQL 7.4 and earlier, set the virtual_host configuration
variable in postgresql.conf.  In 8.0 (currently in beta), use
listen_addresses.
