#Setup a cron job to update /etc/hosts as often as you like. I do it once per hour on #all my machines | |

#All my machines have this ec2 security key + script + cron approach. I do not have to #run dyndns or any private dns servers to keep track of all my internal server ip #addresses. My /etc/hosts looks like the following on the three machines in the test #cluster: | |
#127.0.0.1 localhost | |
