What about configuring services to listen only on one _specific_
interface/ip? (In your case Y) So you perhaps don't have to take care about
an confusing firewall setup... hiding services is not the way[tm] to make or
keep a network secure.
Even if there are running non-vunerable services (you never know, don't
trust software that isn't your own ;-)) on the machine, always keep in mind
that even authorised users can externally compromise your network accidently
or malicous by using world-accessible services (without needing to be...)
Fixing samba (137 and 139) on linux machines, for example, by putting two
lines into /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[snip]
interfaces = eth0 192.168.1.0/24
bind interfaces only = True
[snip]
Greetings.
