I hit this this evening, when running the frontend app on the train. WIthout an internet connection it fails, because it can't connect to this address. More importantly, we're behind a cache. So if this is still used it's going to be horribly broken. Short term we probably need to kill this with fire, it predates any of us starting. Unless someone shouts wildly or knows something I'm going to pull it out of frontend. Hopefully someone knows better.
