Description

With the switch to yamlbeans, if I make listen_address or rpc_address blank, they bind to localhost. Instead, they should bind to whatever hostname and /etc/hosts point at. This makes it much easier to use a unified config across a cluster. Also, yamlbeans doesn't respect the 'null' keyword, which should be the same as a blank value, but is instead treated as a literal string. This makes programmatic generation of the config file difficult.
