Binding VNC to a nic on a multi nic system

[Matthew Drouin]

Hello--
    I have been looking all to see if vnc already supports binding to a
single nic on a multiple nic system. The gist of it is that there are 2
network cards in all the web servers for a company I am doing some
consulting for. One nic is an internal card (for the internal network) and
one is a real world card (for the internet). It would be awesome if it was
possible to bind it such that only connections from the internal nic could
be made to the vnc server. The reason I want this is so that I can dial into
the local network and vnc to the machines without having to worry about
people from the internet being able to connect to the machines. I don't
think that denying ip's will work because it so happens the internal network
is 125.1. which I think is routable on the internet so I would deny all
besides that and if someone was from that subnet then they could still get
in. But I could be incorrect and if I am that would be very kewl. I also
know adding in the binding is not a hard thing to do but why do it if its
already done and I just missed it in the documentation.

Thanks
