It looks like you might be running Solaris on Sun hardware. If you're running Solaris 10, you can use inetadm to configure the bind_addr for the amanda service to make sure it only listens on the 172.23.1.73 address. Amanda should also use that address as the source in its replies. If you're running Solaris 9 or earlier, you might need to install and use xinetd rather than inetd to get the super-server to selectively listen on particular interfaces for individual services. Use the "bind" attribute in the service stanza in the xinetd.conf or in xinetd.d/amanda file. For other OSes, you're probably already using xinetd. If not, there's probably some way to tell inetd to bind to a particular address -- you can run another copy of inetd bound to the correct address with its own configuration file.
