OK, I stand corrected, it works :)

But please note that Wikipedia says (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0):

"""
In the Internet Protocol Version 4, the address 0.0.0.0 is a
non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown or
non-applicable target. To give a special meaning to an otherwise invalid
piece of data is an application of in-band signaling.

In the context of servers, 0.0.0.0 means "all IPv4 addresses on the
local machine". If a host has two ip addresses, 192.168.1.1 and
10.1.2.1, and a server running on the host listens on 0.0.0.0, it will
be reachable at both of those IPs.
"""

i.e. I was not totally wrong when I stated "0.0.0.0" was not a valid
host address.

Laurent.
