allow telnet only whithin same host

Dears,
Can some one tell how we can allow only telnet within the same host only?
by changing file /etc/inetd.conf and #telnet will stop telnet use completely, but we need to use it for some of the application internally within same host/server.

check /var/inetd.sec, create one if there was no, and man inetd.sec

vi /var/adm/inetd.sec
telnet allow serverip

server ip --- > your host ip

After that, make inetd to re-read the config file by

inetd -c
