I don't know if this will solve your problem, you can set ListenAddress 
in sshd_config, by default this is 0.0.0.0 or any. You can have multiple 
ListenAddress entries.

I do not know if you can specify an ip-range, that would solve the 
problem I guess. It doesn't seem like you can configure sshd to bind to 
a particular interface, whichever address it may have, that would be the 
best solution.
