what i've done on my home lan masquerading server is
apt-get install xinetd
and then munge /etc/xinetd.conf to include
service telnet
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = telnetd
group = telnetd
server = /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
bind = 192.168.1.1
}
i have a public address 208.33.90.85 and a private interface for
my home intranet lan, 192.168.1.1 -- so here, telnet is available
only on my internal network because i told xinetd to bind to just
that one interface.
$ nmap 192.168.1.1

i've got telnet listening on port 23 (telnet port) for the internal 192.168.*.*
but there's non on the public address 208.33.90.85 at all.
very nice.
