That causes the development server to listen on all available
network interfaces. This, unfortunately, is not explained in the
runserver documentation [1] or the admin utility's built-in help.
The only place I've found it documented is in chapter two of The
Django Book [2]. This is not Django-specific, as RFC 3330
("Special-Use IPv4 Addresses") [3] defines addresses in the
0.0.0.0/8 block as referring to "source hosts on `this' network",
but it seems that it would be helpful to note this in the Django
docs for people who are unfamiliar with this convention.

That would cause the development server to listen on port 8000 of
whatever interface uses 127.0.0.0. The hostname "localhost" [4]
typically resolves to 127.0.0.1, the address of the loopback
interface [5].
