-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-This issue boils down to CASSANDRA-10134 loading the ring state, which 
includes preferred_ip.-  OTC then queries this directly if it exists and uses 
it before any changes can be learned.  Given this, I'm not sure it even makes 
sense to store the preferred_ip, since if we try to use it eagerly we'll never 
be able to learn of the change to it, as this issue exemplifies.  I think the 
best plan is just to remove this optimization and do the reconnection dance 
every time, which still shouldn't be super-often. WDYT, [~samt]?

In the meantime, operators may add {{-Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false}} if 
that's an acceptable workaround.

> Many container based solution function by assigning new listen_addresses when 
> nodes are stopped. Changing the listen_address is usually as simple as 
> turning off the node and changing the yaml file. 
> However, if prefer_local is enabled, I observed that nodes were unable to 
> join the cluster and fail with 'Unable to gossip with any seeds'. 
> Trace shows that the changing node will try to communicate with the existing 
> node but the response is never received. I assume it is because the existing 
> node attempts to communicate with the local address during the shadow round.
