Chuck,

On Amazon AWS EC2 every instance gets two IP addresses, a private IP 
(10.226.61.189) and a public IP (174.129.x.x).  These IP's are dynamic 
and can change if the machine is stopped and started again.

Additionally a user can assign an "Elastic IP" to an instance which is 
an additional public IP address that can be instantly swapped between 
any instances you run.  This makes migrations or switch overs very easy 
as an IP can be moved to another server with one API call without having 
to wait for DNS to propagate etc.

Gert,

I'm guessing you bought this from Solarspeed.  It's probably best to ask 
this question direct to him as I don't think there are many people 
running BX on AWS and Michael will know how he set the networking up.

I am a HUGE fan of AWS and use it a lot as part of my job but personally 
I wouldn't use it for hosting BX.  I hope you know what you are doing.

Regards, Dan
