Rob, Could you enlighten me with issues we could expect if we went with the RackInferringSnitch? It seems the smiplest to maintain when adding nodes.

Which Snitch would you recommend, PropertyFileSnitch or RackInferringSnitch? I'd probably use GossipingPropertyFileSnitch before PropertyFileSnitch. I would almost certainly not use RackInferringSnitch. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1974 http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/cluster_architecture/replication =Rob
