I actually just answered this question the other day. Take a look in the 
archives. The gist of it appears to be that slurmdbd will fix that address to 
be whatever address slurmctld uses to connect to it.

There’s also a bug/enhancement related to this a few point releases back on 
15.08 that addresses this. You don’t say your SLURM version or OS/version.
