This is probably off topic, but please explain this.

I assume what you are saying is, due to your previous comments about
the insecurity of NFS, you wouldn't want to expose those services to
the internet.

If it were possible to bind NFS to an IP and not expose them to the
internet (thereby implying a multi homed host), would your answer be
the same?

Seems to me that all these operating systems coming with built in
firewalls are really just avoiding issues rather than solving them...
