Hi Team,
Have a little confusion in `elasticsearch.yml` to hold transport addresses.

> Isn't transport.host is used to bind to or publish a certain IP address of a node? If yes, then it cannot be used to specify remote host that will used to connect to for discovery. But I did try both of the following settings, and neither of it works - transport.host: 192.168.1.8 http\_host: 192.168.1.8 I get same NoNodeNameAvailable exception.

In the above post Kimchy commented we cant provide addresses in yml file.
```
//settings contain only cluster.name
client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(settings)
.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName("localhost"), 9300));
```
Now, if above code is migrated to cluster where Elasticsearch exists on another server.
How do I add this transport address in external yml, so that my code would know.
Can we? Cannot?
Pls Help
Thank you,
Regards,
SatyaRaj
