Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-2491:
---------------------------------------------
One last thing I overlooked earlier is the snitches have getBCA(). This seems
unnecessary since anything that needs it can access DD, which is all the
snitches are doing. This changes the snitch interface and breaks any custom
snitches.

> A new config parameter, broadcast_address
> In a cluster setup where one or more nodes is behind a firewall and has a
> private ip address, listen_address does not allow the hosts behind the
> firewalls to be discovered by other nodes.
> Attached is a patch that introduces a new config parameter broadcast_address
> which allows Cassandra nodes to explicitly specify their external ip address.
> In addition, this allows listen_address to be set to 0.0.0.0 on the already
> firewalled node.
> broadcast_address fallsback to listen_address when it is not stated.
