Hey All.
One of the things which I would like to add in is the ability to pass ing forward DNS details and let deltacloud take care of setting it up against one of the public IPs when it knows it. I am not really sure if this is a deltacloud thing - unfortunately it looks like EC2 doesn't provide something like this for you (it has elastic IPs, but that is kind of different), but rackspace does. There are things like ez-ipupdate utilities that you can use to hook in to a wide variety of public dyn DNS things, and of course private servers.
Is this something of interest or appropriate to deltacloud? it is certainly relevant to a lot of what some of us need to do, would be nice to have it abstracted into some part of the drivers.
Unfortunately, not much we can do about reverse DNS as it is up to who owns the IPs, so with Amazon, I believe the term is "SOL", but at least with forward resolution, that is something (no good for the spammer though!).
Thoughts? If people are interested, I might nock something up to see how it might work.

Michael, sorry for the delayed response. I am not sure exactly what you have in mind here, but I talked to Hugh, and he said 'we want something similar to EC2 security groups' and that any dns goodness woudl be great to have. If you wanted to nock something up,as you mentioned, it would be greatly appreciated, and probably easier to give feedback on (being something more concrete).
