Right. Which OS are you speaking of?

No, it is possible. At least on Linux. You simply add the IP in front of
the cvspserver entry in /etc/inetd.conf. You can even specify more than
one address, seperated by comma then. See man inetd.
Here the problem seems to be an aliased IP and since I do not have such
a configuration here, I have to set up one tomorrow to test it.
