I'm not sure I quite understand the question, but based on what I think is
being asked, I would say that allowing only traffic addressed from the
local lan to enter the router through the local ethernet interface would
prevent anyone on the local lan from using a spoofed address to launch and
attack onto the internet. The profelactic result would be similar to using
Reverse Path Verification on the upstream router.
