It needs to be other than 127.0.0.1 if the server needs to talk to locations other than localhost. Using the localhost address does seem to work ok if you do not run a local client at all, but can cause problems if you decide to connect locally at some point for testing or whatever.
If you are running only on the local machine and never connect from external then you must use 127.0.0.1. If you do not, it will fail if your network connection dies for any reason. (note: it will work if the network connection is up, but why take chances).
