[Gluster-users] ec2 peers

[Gerry Reno]

Ok, so I attached elastic ips and then probed the secondary server from
the primary using the external dns name.  And the probe succeeds and I
see the external DNS name along with a UUID.  However, on the secondary
server if I query peer status it is now showing the Internal IP of the
primary server.  So where did that peer entry come from?  I did not
probe from the secondary?  Can I safely detach this IP and then probe
from the secondary to the primary based on external DNS name?   Or is
this IP entry going to continue to happen automatically?

Regards,
Gerry
