Hello all, I have a few questions on networking configs for riak. I have both a public ip and a private ip for each riak node. I want Riak to communicate over the private ip addresses to take advantage of free bandwidth, but I would also like the option to interface with riak using the public ip's if need be (i.e. for testing / demo's etc).
I'm gathering that the way people to this is by setting up app.config to use ip "0.0.0.0" to listen for all ip's. I'm also gathering vm.args needs to have a unique name in the cluster so I would need to use the hostname for the -name option (i.e. r...@www.fake-node-domain-name-1.com). My hosts file would contain: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost x.x.x.x www.fake-node-domain-name-1.com mynode-1 .... where x.x.x.x is the public ip not the private. This is where I start to get lost. As it sits, if I attempt to join using the private ip's i will get the unreachable error - yet I can telnet connect to/from the equivalent nodes. So I could add a second IP to the hosts file, but since I need to keep the public one as well, how is that riak is going to use the private ips for gissip ring, hinted hand-off, ... etc etc. There's obviously some networking basics I am missing. Any guidance from those of you who have done this? Thanks.
