Ahh cheers for this. Was wondering if you were going to do this :D

I was wondering, would it make more sense to use daemon.conf and
client.conf rather than modargs and env vars here?

The env var would still be useful IMO for testing quickly, but I can't
help bug feeling the conf files is more appropriate for this kind of
setting... perhaps that's just me tho'?
