Why should this not work? On my system, all the servers (even those reachable 
over the Internet) are listening on 0.0.0.0:

$ netstat -tan
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:113             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 172.16.254.1:53         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:21              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.2:53          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Note above the 8080 (swiki) and 113 (domain) entries, both of which are 
allowed through my firewall (sometimes, anyway). Both work from the outside 
world.
