You add these lines to /etc/hosts.allow and sleep peacefully:
tcp-env: 192.168. : setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: 10. : setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: <host-ip-address> : setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: 127.0.0.1 : setenv = RELAYCLIENT
(the last one there might not be necessary).
Oh, and ensure your firewall doesn't allow incoming users pretending to
come from 10.* or 192.168.*
