Can not use --client and --remote-config at the same time

Description of the bug: Can not use --client and --remote-config at the same time. Fio only runs on the last host of host file.

Environment: Ubuntu 20.04.4

fio version: fio-3.16

Reproduction steps Setup:

• Client host: I have a host-file contains address of 2 servers:

192.168.1.10
192.168.1.11

• Server host: I have a /home/huynnp/fio.job file on each server:

[global]
bs=4K
iodepth=128
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
group_reporting
time_based
runtime=500
name=rand-write
rw=randwrite

[job1]
filename=/dev/drbd100x

Execute fio on the client host:

fio --client hosts --remote-config /home/huynnp/fio.job

Above command will only run on the last host of host-file, which is 192.168.1.11.

I'm trying to find an alternative way, but it does not seem to work:

...
[job1]
filename=/dev/drbd1000
client=192.168.1.10

[job2]
filename=/dev/drbd1001
client=192.168.1.11
