Correct.  The man page defines the "LOCAL" parameter as "local address
specification in the format used on the output from netstat."  So you're
trying to match a string in "address:port" format, rather than just a port
number.

You could instead have used "0.0.0.0:1433", but the regular expression form
(starting with "%") has the advantage of matching both IPv4 and IPv6
sockets.  Your status is probably saying "found 2, req. 1 or more" - once
for IPv4 and once for IPv6.
