Hi Paul.
If you think about it, NLA is useful for end user systems that move from network to network. And like most "wizardy" things, it makes assumptions about any situation that it is in. Servers would not normally be moved from network to network, dynamically changing the firewall settings needed.
With server, the best practice, multi homed or not, would be to block all trafic and then only allow the traffic required to pass in or out via the firewall advanced configuration. You could apply all rules to all profiles and control the traffic via source/destination IP/port configuration.
Hope this helps.
