In this case, the admin-listener is NOT bound to all interfaces. It is
only bound to one.

My sentence was not clear. It should have been phrased thusly:

When the admin-listener is configured to bind to a particular hostname
(rather than 0.0.0.0), the nodehost for the node for the instance has to
be set to use the same hostname as the admin-listener for that instance
to get the list-instances command to work correctly.
