Don't use 'localhost' as your host name. For example, if you wanted to use the name 'node'; add another line to your hosts file like:
127.0.1.1 node.domain.local node Then change all the host references in your configuration files to 'node' -- also, don't forget to change the master/slave files as well. Now, if you decide to use an external address it would need to be static. This is easy to do, just follow this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/linux-basics-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu and replace '127.0.1.1' with whatever external address you decide on.
