Hi Bernard. Thank you very much for the prompt reply. I get the idea as to what is to be done. The reason I had a doubt in the first place was i would need to make the neccessary modification in the /etc/hosts file of every node in the cluster. And this is a file that is periodically pushed to all nodes. So I was wondering if there would be some kind of problem if I manually edit this and push it to all nodes and then later on add a slave node to the cluster. Thanks a lot for your time.
