The spec says:
$interface_address
As soon as a server starts processing a TCP/IP connection, this variable is
set to the address of the local IP interface, and $interface_port is set to
the port number. These values are therefore available for use in the
"connect" ACL. See also the -oMi command line option. As well as being used
in ACLs, these variable could be used, for example, to make the file name
for a TLS certificate depend on which interface and/or port is being used.
Perhaps I should add the word "incoming", just in case it isn't obvious.
