Description:
The reference manual states: 

"--proxy-address=host:port — the listening host name (or IP address) and port of the proxy server. The default is localhost:4040." 

However, the default behavior is to listen to all IPs on port 4040: 

$ netstat -an | grep 4040
      *.4040               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN

How to repeat:
Start mysql-proxy with default settings, and check with netstat

Suggested fix:
Fix the reference manual to show the current behavior
