I would not allow your nodes to be accessible on the Internet. Nodes
are all the same. Any node can answer any query. Put them behind a
balancer like nginx and have that run through the list of all your
nodes.

I've just glanced over the riak design overview and I think I am
missing something basic in the failover technique. The docs explain
that any node can process any query and that adding nodes will re-
balance the storage. My question is, how does the client know which
server node to contact initially and what happens if that node is
the one that has failed - particularly for the rest interface where
you don't have a special client? Do you typically put server nodes
on the same host as the clients so they can use a localhost
connection, use round robin DNS, put them behind a load balancer or
is there some unique way of handling this?
