The my.tt file shipped with SqueezeCentre and Slimserver has a line which forces all MySql access to the database to be carried out on the same machine as the database is running. 

This is great for security, but a bit of a pain if the user wants to run something like Moose, which needs to access the database remotely. Moreso if their server is running on a NAS box with limited access rights. 

Re-implementing the line of the my.tt as a parameter which defaults to 127.0.0.1 would be equally secure, yet make it easier for applications such as Moose to access the database remotely since the parameter could be added to the server settings.

So, instead of this in the my.tt:
bind-address          = 127.0.0.1

We should have this:
bind-address          = [% bindAddress %]

Then in MySQLHelper.pm (by default) have this in createConfig:
my %config = (
       'basedir'  => $class->mysqlDir,
       'language' => $class->mysqlDir,
       'datadir'  => catdir($cacheDir, 'MySQL'),
       'socket'   => $class->socketFile,
       'pidFile'  => $class->pidFile,
       'errorLog' => catdir($cacheDir, 'mysql-error-log.txt'),
       'bindAddress' => $prefs->get('bindAddress'),
);

and define bindAddress to be '127.0.0.1' at the top of the file.

bindAddress should then be added to the server settings and maybe added to the front end, or a plugin written which forces it to not be bound.

If we kept the bindAddress to a string, we should be able to enter a range of IP's.

One further thing to note is that changing the value of bindAddress will probably require the my.cnf file in the cache to be deleted and the server and mysql restarting to take effect.
