[19:55] <pting> for the elastic load balancer, you guys think the ip is static?
[19:56] <pting> ...i mean, when you instantiate one
[19:58] <pting> nevermind, googled the answer... http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa;jsessionid=88709C264540DB950C1E3C2B96685A2F?messageID=136109&#136109
[21:10] <erichammond> pting: Not only is the Elastic Load Balancer IP address not static, but it could be returning any of a number of IP addresses on a given DNS lookup.  I.e., three requests by three different people at the same time could return three different IP addresses.  This is part of the nature of the load balancer.
[23:41] <flaccid> erichammond: yeah so aws' definition of elastic ip: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ being static is somewhat of a misnomer as they are not static when doing elastic load balancing, right ?
[23:42] <erichammond> flaccid: Elastic IP addresses do not mix with Elastic Load Balancing.  Those are two different features.
[23:42] <flaccid> thats right. i'm referring to the fact their both share the name elastic..
[23:42] <flaccid> their=they
[23:50] <flaccid> erichammond: my point is just that people do seem to assume that the elastic ips in load balancing are static due to this definition
[23:51] <erichammond> I just assume "Elastic" is Amazon's favorite word: Elastic Compute Cloud, Elastic IP Address, Elastic Load Balancer, Elastic Block Store, ...
[23:52] <flaccid> this is true
