In addition to your actual address (15.2.208.15) you can also use
hostnames and wildcard characters.  Do a "man inetd.sec" to learn
the details.

When you install VUE, this file is automatically edited and your
hostname is listed.  If you subsequently change your hostname then
you have to manually reedit this file.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address.  This is the address that is
used for socket connections if the machine isn't hooked to a network.
