Although /etc/hosts.* is an easy method of restricting access to certain
services I'd suggest using IPTables to control who has access to what,
as it's universal and offers more granular control over your rules.

Check out system-config-firewall, or for even greater control "man
iptables" and edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
