Short answer: Yes.

The SliMP3 server is actually two servers in one.  It serves the audio
stream to the device, and it has a web server interface.  To restrict
the web server to one NIC, use the --httpaddr argument:

	./server.pl --httpaddr=192.168.123.45

(Substitute your internal NIC's IP address for 192.168.123.45.)

To restrict the audio stream, make a one line change to server.pl.

	158c158
	<       my $localClientNetAddr;
	---
	>       my $localClientNetAddr = '192.168.123.45';

I'm talking about SliMP3 Server V1.8.  Future versions may make the
second step easier.  And I'll warn you -- I just read the code, I
haven't actually tested this.
