You probably want this set to '*'.
 
It is not the addresses to allow in, it is the addresses to listen on.
(You might have multiple network cards in the database server and
only want to accept database connections on one of them, for example.)
 
The pg_hba.conf file can be configured to allow specific addresses in,
so that may be OK as it stands.
