Good.

BTW, the reason for not using 127.0.0.1 or localhost in your config
files is that using either of these for your storage daemon will
prevent all machines other than the machine with the storage from
making a backup. So the point is to always use the external address on
all daemons if you have more than 1 machine that you want to backup.
