-------------------------------------------
> This problem was caused by the changes made in Amazon EC2 addressing:

I don't use the hadoop ec2 scripts, but I filed HADOOP-1202 specifically
because of this issue.
The solution I intended with HADOOP-1202 was to make the namenode and
jobtracker bind to 0.0.0.0 using my HADOOP-1202 patch, but use the internal
addresses in the hadoop configs. I set up an http proxy to view logs for the
datanodes and tasktrackers (I have my httpd.conf if anybody is interested). It
is then possible to view the jobtracker & namenode website normally (you have
to submit jobs from inside the cluster though, since submitting a job writes to
the dfs). The problem is that you can't use the dfs from outside the cluster;
instead you have to use some proxying solution which will be much slower (in
our case it took longer to copy data back than to compute it).
If you need to use dfs, the real solution is to make all datanodes bind to
0.0.0.0, make the namenode aware that each datanode has two addresses, and make
sure the namenode knows when to use which one. This would require
significantly more work than my HADOOP-1202 patch though.
