Thanks Dan.
<br />
<br />That's obviously part of that newish "cloud computing" that is spreading so much. Unfortunately, I haven't got any experience with the cloud stuff, and didn't know their term "elastic IP".
<br />
<br />But your explanation would give me pause as a administrator. Both a public and a private that can change if I reboot the machine! That could cause problems. Can I assume that "elastic IP" is set/does not change? In that case, I could see where you'd want to assign the elastic to the virtual machine address - so it wouldn't change on you.
<br />
<br />Thanks again for the info Dan.
<br />
<br />

<br />Chuck

Chuck,

<br />>
On Amazon AWS EC2 every instance gets two IP addresses, a private IP
<br />>
(10.226.61.189) and a public IP (174.129.x.x). These IP's are dynamic
<br />>
and can change if the machine is stopped and started again.
<br />>
<br />>
Additionally a user can assign an "Elastic IP" to an instance which is
<br />>
an additional public IP address that can be instantly swapped between
<br />>
any instances you run. This makes migrations or switch overs very easy
<br />>
as an IP can be moved to another server with one API call without having
<br />>
to wait for DNS to propagate etc.

Gert,
<br />>
<br />>
I'm guessing you bought this from Solarspeed. It's probably best to ask
<br />>
this question direct to him as I don't think there are many people
<br />>
running BX on AWS and Michael will know how he set the networking up.
<br />>
<br />>
I am a HUGE fan of AWS and use it a lot as part of my job but personally
<br />>
I wouldn't use it for hosting BX. I hope you know what you are doing.
<br />>
<br />>
Regards, Dan
