See #444 - we have contradictory requirement for Anvil and Amarel, and the default iface list will, depending on the order, only work on one of them. The get_hostip() call can overwrite that list with the req parameter all right - but we don't pass that parameter through the ZMQ layer just yet, so RP cannot specify the preferred interface. This needs to be exposed, preferably by changing ru.config.default settings.
