Comment (by mlakewood):

 In addition to this i've experienced the following problem. If I create a
 client node in the default directory ie .tahoe through tahoe create-client
 command, and then modify the '''web.port = tcp:3457:interface=127.0.0.1'''
 to be say '''web.port = tcp:3457:interface=10.0.10.89''' when you try to
 run a command it will thow and exception about trying to connect to the
 client. This is because in node.url its still pointing at
 http://127.0.0.1:3457 . If you change this to point at 10.0.10.89:3457
 then all is good. however if you stop and start the tahoe client then the
 node.url is reset to http://127.0.0.1:3456 . which is a bit of a usability
 problem.. node.url seems like a configuration file, but gets overridden
 with a potentially invalid default. It seems to me node.url shouldn't be
 overriden on tahoe start.
