Don't fully agree @ahgittin, `main.uri` should be the externally accessible
URL, where sensors will poll for values, will be given to users to connect to.
Whether you need an external or internal url *between* entities is known at
composition time only. If doing it in yaml you'll want to override the default
sensor. Java group entities usually assume local network and directly use the
subnet sensor (see
[this](https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn/blob/master/software/nosql/src/main/java/org/apache/brooklyn/entity/nosql/riak/RiakClusterImpl.java#L231-L232)
for example).
So until we have a principled way to handle this I'd say keep the public IP.
