Enabeling Akka remote to listen on all interfaces

[Oliver Schulz]

Currently, there seems to be now way for Akka remote to listen on all interfaces.

Akka.actor.Actor.remote.start(host, port) can only be called once (it seems), and the host address has to be specified. If left empty, host defaults to localhost, since the implementing class, NettyRemoteServer, uses "new InetSocketAddress(host,port)" internally.

Proposal: Allow host to be specified as "*" and make a small change in NettyRemoteServer to call "new InetSocketAddress(port)" in this case.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea, if you can make it work well.

IIRC, we made it work by setting the host to 0.0.0.0
