That command line option should tell mysqld to read that file and that
file only.
What would be needed in the mysqld section would be an
ndb-connectstring=123.123.123.12
And that should work.
By default mysqld looks for a number of files, well the same file a
number of locations.
/etc/my.cnf
/usr/local/mysql/my.cnf
~.my.cnf
so it can get a little confusing.
--defaults-file should overide this behavior and have mysql look for one
file only.
This page is a nice reference to all the options.

You could always try to start it with what you need on the command line
and then sort it out from there.
Something like.
mysqld --nbd-conecstring= --ndbcluster(is this still needed ? )
--user=mysql --skip-daefaults &&
Beware of perhaps another mysqld laying around.. so many tools use mysql
that which mysqld had better show you the mysqld that you are expecting.
