Use the source. :)

From z2.py:

  -a ipaddress
    The IP address to listen on.  If this is an empty string
    (e.g. -a ''), then all addresses on the machine are used. The
    default is %(IP_ADDRESS)s.

so in your start script, add: -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address you want to hook to.

Cheers

Bill
