It depends on the program itself.
If it's a service that is started by xinetd (like a pop3 server, for
example) then add a "bind" option to the /etc/xinetd.conf or better the
relevant file in /etc/xinetd.d (this is the location on redhat/fedora
distribs)
The bind option takes the IP address of the interface, as in..
service pop3s
{
disable = yes
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
bind = 192.168.0.123
}
