The answer to that is no, as I'm sure Andrej knows ;-) ... no valid IP
address ends in .0.
If you don't want to say listen_addresses = '*' then you need to specify
the exact IP address of your machine's network interface in
listen_addresses. Unless you have multiple IP addresses and know what
they are and why you want to distinguish between them, just write '*'.
The other thing that enters into this is the contents of pg_hba.conf.
An entry like 192.168.1.0/24 would be pretty reasonable in pg_hba.conf,
if you want to let in just connections from your local LAN.
