# What are the SoftLayer name server addresses?
# We have two addresses for Authoritative Name Servers and two addresses for Resolving Name Servers.
# Authoritative Name Servers
# ns1.softlayer.com 67.228.255.4
# ns2.softlayer.com 67.228.255.5
# Resolving Name Servers
# rs1.service.softlayer.com 10.0.80.11
# rs2.service.softlayer.com 10.0.80.12

# Add an additional IP address for Eureka to use.
# Change the address, netmask, and gateway value for each new server.
# Use an address, netmask, and gateway from a private portable subnet here.
# You can order private portable subnets from SoftLayer.
# Wishlist: automate this info instead of hardcoding it into the script.
