I think there's some confusion here. That configuration property org.neo4j.server.webserver.address is about which IP address the server you're starting listens on for external connections. Relevant documentation is here.

It seems you're asking how to configure your database to talk to a remote database. I don't think you can do that. Rather, by editing that file you're planning on running a database on the host where that file is. Your local database on that host will write files to wherever the org.neo4j.server.database.location configuration parameter points.

A remote connection is something that the neo4j shell might establish, or that you browser might make to a foreign server running neo4j; but you don't establish that sort of remote connection by editing that file. Hopefully this helps.
