There is no variable representing the address, as far as I know.
But, it your client names are always `hostname`-fd you might add a
simple substitution to the script (which I did not even look at now :-)
Simply remove the trailing -fd or do nothing if there is no trailing
"-fd" in bash:

elf-fdtest
Something like this works here for me.
