Binary link server binding address

[Julien Nicoulaud]

It's perfect, thank you.

About my use case, to make simple: I use this to run the forked VM on a
remote compute node grid managed by a batch system, I have my own runner
that handles parameterization, runs the N parameter combinations in
parallel (each thread running one JMH Runner instance), and aggregates
results into charts. JMH Runners are "tricked" into launching their client
VM remotely by setting the JVM command option to a wrapper script that does
the forwarding.

This has many advantages: faster, parallelized, benchmarks running on the
target hardware and software stack, can launch benchmarks right from within
the IDE without any deployment step, etc.

This would not be possible if JMH was not so embeddable, so I hope it stays
this way in the future :)

Cheers,
Julien
