Interesting.. 'cause it is the default when performing a new myth 
install.  The notes actually say "Use an externally accessible address 
(ie, not 127.0.0.1) if you are going to be running a frontend on a 
different machine than this one."  So, if you are running a FE/BE on the 
same machine, one would think it would be ok to use 127.0.0.1,

With that said, perhaps the text within mythtv setup should be updated 
to ask for the IP address of the machine, and not accept 127.0.0.1..?
