This field isn't required by a worker and it's certainly not used by a
worker to listen on that specific interface. It also isn't required to
be set consistently and its use in-tree limited to the old load-balancing
script.
There's a bif called packet_source() which on a worker will provide
information about the actually used packet source.
Relates to zeek/zeek#2877.
By default, each certificate is now output only once per hour. This also
should work in cluster mode, where we use the net broker-table-syncing
feature to distribute the information about already seen certificates
across the entire cluster.
Log caching is also pretty configureable and can be changed using a
range of confiuration options and hooks.
Note that this is currently completely separate from X509 events
caching, which prevents duplicate parsing of X509 certificates.
