Hi, I'm trying ES 2-node cluster on a GoGrid cloud environment. For high- availability, I'm going to use GoGrid's load-balancer. On each node I have two network interfaces - one Public and one Private. Using the Private interface is free, but using the Public costs per 1GB transferred. And here's the problem: The load balancer will only communicate with the Public network interface. I will have to bind ES to the Public interface, and that means that I'm going to pay for each query my web servers send to the ES servers. But that's not all. I also will have to pay for the Transport module traffic, since it binds too to the Public interface. So, the question is can I separate HTTP and Transport modules to two different IP addresses. Thanks, Shlomke` ---

Sure, set the transport.host setting to the private IP address, and set http.host setting to the public IP.

Thanks Shay, I will give it a try.
