hp-ux service port restrictions

[Duane Hamlett]

I have a service port, i.e. 5000, and I would like to restrict access to that port with the exception of the localhost itself. I do not have an intranet firewall so I would like to accomplish this by using the resources available on that server.

scenario:
service host: 127.0.0.1
db service: 127.0.0.1:5000
application client: 127.0.0.1

No other application clients should be allowed to access 127.0.0.1:5000

is this possible?

thanks,
