Error setting API endpoint about pcfdev

Hi @echurchm,

Short version: Unless you cannot use 192.168.11.11 for the MicroPCF guest VM, do not set MICROPCF_IP.

Long version:

The local.micropcf.io domain will always resolve to 192.168.11.11 outside of the MicroPCF VM. The MICROPCF_IP and MICROPCF_DOMAIN environment variables exist for situations where 192.168.11.11 is unavailable. For instance, running MICROPCF_IP=192.168.22.11 vagrant up would configure the MicroPCF guest VM to use the address 192.168.22.11 with Cloud Controller available at api.192.168.22.11.xip.io. Running MICROPCF_DOMAIN=local2.micropcf.io MICROPCF_IP=192.168.22.11 vagrant up would configure the MicroPCF guest VM to use the address 192.168.22.11 with Cloud Controller available at api.local2.micropcf.io (another domain we provide for convenience).

MicroPCF uses the standard Virtualbox NAT address (10.0.2.15) separately for external internet access. Setting MICROPCF_IP to this will result in an unusable VM.

Thanks. I started over and it worked as documented. For some reason the first time through it did not seem to work so I went down the different IP path. I must have done something wrong.
