SunScreen 3.2 Queries

I am awash in documentation for SunScreen that all wants to address much
more complicated situations than I have. What I have is a multi-homed
host which I want to protect. This host is NOT a router. I want to put
severe ingress and egress filters on one of its interfaces. I want no
restrictions on other interfaces. I would like to do all administration
at the CLI and kill off the near-useless GUI. I am running Solaris 9
(sparc) with SunScreen 3.2.

So my questions are:

        I cannot see where in rules I can apply them to only specific
        interfaces. How do I do this? Can I do this?

        Without the ability to set rules per-interface, the anti-spoofing
        abilities of the firewall become essential, but I can find little
        documentation on what anti-spoofing does or does not do and how
        it works in the SunScreen 3.2 documentation. How does it work?

        Will SunScreen function properly if I kill off the Apache server
        and Java processes it starts up? What's the "correct" way to
        stop them from starting?

Before someone says "IPFilter," yes, I know, it would be trivial to do
this in IPFilter. But management wants a Sun-supported product blah-blah
(I know IPFilter is in 10, but I don't think its supported in 9. I would
love to be corrected on that.)
