If this is in hobbitserver.cfg on the proxy, IMHO, this should be the IP of 
the real display server.

If you have set BBSERVERIP to the main display server, then this is 
unnecessary.

Well, each should be on a dedicated IP+port combination. If you don't have a 
dedicated IP, then using an alternative port is sufficient. Or, if you need 
the proxy to listen on more than one IP (thus 0.0.0.0), then you have to use 
a different port.
