Nomad servers can advertise independent IP addresses for `serf` and `rpc`. Somewhat unexpectedly, the `serf` address is also used for both Serf and server-to-server RPC communication (including Raft RPC). The address advertised for `rpc` is only used for client-to-server RPC. This split was introduced intentionally in Nomad 0.8. When clients are using Consul discovery for connecting to servers, they get an initial discovery set from Consul and use the correct `rpc` tag in Consul to get a list of adddresses for servers. The client then makes a `Status.Peers` RPC to get the list of those servers that are raft peers. But this endpoint is shared between servers and clients, and provides the address used for Raft. Most of the time this is harmless because servers will bind on 0.0.0.0 anyways., But in topologies where servers are on a private network and clients are on separate subnets (or even public subnets), clients will make initial contact with the server to get the list of peers but then populate their local server set with unreachable addresses. Cluster administrators can work around this problem by using `server_join` with specific IP addresses (or DNS names), because the `Node.UpdateStatus` endpoint returns the correct set of RPC addresses when updating the node. So once a client has registered, it will get the correct set of RPC addresses. This changeset updates the client logic to query `Status.Members` instead of `Status.Peers`, and then extract the correctly advertised address and port from the response body.
