The code, however, is pretty simple, so it probably does. As to issues... many people in many different environments do not have control over their IP assignments or unlimited blocks of IPs to preallocate for future expansion. This makes it potentially awkward to add new hosts in the future. As you are @rackspace.com, perhaps you do have this control. In that case, the RackInferringSnitch is probably fine. That said, anyone using a rack aware snitch should read : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3810 =Rob
