[Gluster-users] ec2 peers

[Gerry Reno]

That's exactly what I was thinking as well.  Unless glusterfs has some
magic discovery mechanism based on UUID's.

And I believe that within the EC2 network even external EC2 DNS names
get resolved to the internal IP so no add'l network charges should be
incurred.

Regards,
Gerry
