-* `addresses` - This is a nested object that allows setting bind addresses. For `rpc`

+  Both `rpc` and `http` support binding to Unix domain sockets. A socket can be

   When running Consul agent commands against Unix socket interfaces, use the
   `-rpc-addr` or `-http-addr` arguments to specify the path to the socket. You
   can also place the desired values in `CONSUL_RPC_ADDR` and `CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR`
   environment variables. For TCP addresses, these should be in the form ip:port.
