One more thing:

In settings.py, I have this:

REST_SERVER = 'http://192.168.40.252:8001'

However, this doesn't seem to be respected when I do runserver:

[root at jaribu] /usr/home/wash/Tools/Mailman/MM3/postorius/dev_setup# python
manage.py runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.4, using settings 'dev_setup.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.


[root at jaribu] /usr/home/wash# sockstat -l | grep 800
root     python     77906 3  tcp4   127.0.0.1:8000        *:*
root     python     14108 43 tcp4   127.0.0.1:8001        *:*

Since I am not using the server as a Desktop, I need a way to access it
remotely, not via 127.0.0.1
