Binding inetd to ip

Is it possible to bind inetd to a specific ip address/ethernet card under
linux?  I haven't been able to find any info myself, but the reason I
ask is because I currently am running a nameserver that has two network
cards.

I have (chroot'ed to its own partition) bind 8.2.2-P5 bound to the second
ethernet card and I want nothing else on that card - I want it clean
except for port 53, basically.

I bound ssh to the first card and am running xntpd on there as well (does
that have to actually bind to a port?  Is there any way to stop that?  If
not is there any way to at least limit it to one card/ip?  Would I be
better off just running ntpdate once an hour?) and then I'm running
Portsentry on the box to watch for any suspicious activity.

Here's how a netstat -na looks:

[root@thisbox /root]# netstat -na

Any ideas on anything else I can clean up?  Also, I don't mean to sound
ignorant but anyone have any idea what's listening on 1024, 1, 6 ,and
17?  It's a Redhat 6.0 box, if that helps.
