That's fine by me - as long as the connection is established,
lastClientIface does not change anyway (if I understand correctly).

Bare in mind that lastClientIface is Vdsm's guess on the network
interface on top of which the client connection is comming through.

It is used when Vdsm is run on a fresh host, and Engine would like to
know on top of which interface should it configure the management
network
