I'm having trouble trying to identify the proper way to handle Heroku

- ES on EC2. I'm not seeing a mechanism for securing the data and  
because it's Heroku, I can't poke specific holes in the instance just  
for the server (non static IP).

Has anyone successfully done this? How did you do it or how would you  
go about it?

Thanks,  
Chance
