I've been working with Basho to get those documents updated - in short - I have a pull request that makes using Riak with EIP's in Classic-EC2 much, much easier. They have accepted it, but it has not been merged with the mainline yet. I'm assuming you are *not* on VPC, is that correct?
If so, you should use the ec2 public DNS name as your node identifier instead. For the IP you listed above, that's: ec2-54-247-68-179.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com If you find that name ungainly - go head and make a CNAME that points to it - riak-1.yourcompany.com CNAME ec2-54-247-68-179.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com Once you've done this, you can use that shortname (riak-1.yourcompany.com) as your node identifier - and it will survive a node restart (so long as you reassociate the EIP with the instance). The reason *why* this works is that that public DNS name ( ec2-54-247-68-179.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com) resolves to the _inside_ IP address of your node when you're inside of amazon. So your server can figure out whether or not it's talking to itself. -B.
