vncserver_proxyclient_address=127.0.0.1	(StrOpt)the address to which proxy clients (like nova-xvpvncproxy) should connect

	Note
	If you intend to support live migration, you cannot specify a specific IP address for `vncserver_listen`, because that IP address will not exist on the destination host.

Note

vncserver_proxyclient_address - Defaults to 127.0.0.1. This is the address of the compute host that nova will instruct proxies to use when connecting to instance servers. For all-in-one XenServer domU deployments this can be set to 169.254.0.1. For multi-host XenServer domU deployments this can be set to a dom0 management ip on the same network as the proxies. For multi-host libvirt deployments this can be set to a host management IP on the same network as the proxies.
