Neither option caused mythweb to work.

With db server at 127.0.0.1:

$ sudo netstat -peanut | grep 6543
[sudo] password for dpeale:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6543          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      124        22761       1433/mythbackend
tcp6       0      0 ::1:6543                :::*                    LISTEN      124        22762       1433/mythbackend

with dbserver at 192.168.63.3:

$ sudo netstat -peanut | grep 6543
[sudo] password for dpeale:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6543          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      124        23751       1414/mythbackend
