Hi,

I am creating a small Hadoop (0.19.1) cluster (2 nodes to start), each of the machines has 2 NIC cards (1 external facing, 1 internal facing). It is important that Hadoop run and communicate on the internal facing NIC (because the external facing NIC costs me money), also the internal is more protected.

So I found a couple of parameters both in the mail archives and on the Hadoop core site, but they don't seem to do anything as the result is always the same, it resolves to the external IP, and name (which is in DNS).

 <property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.dns.interface</name>
  <value>en1</value>
<description>The name of the Network Interface from which a data node should
  report its IP address.
  </description>
 </property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.dns.nameserver</name>
  <value>DN</value>
  <description>The host name or IP address of the name server (DNS)
  which a DataNode should use to determine the host name used by the
  NameNode for communication and display purposes.
  </description>
 </property>

<property>
  <name>mapred.tasktracker.dns.interface</name>
  <value>en1</value>
  <description>The name of the Network Interface from which a task
  tracker should report its IP address.
  </description>
 </property>

<property>
  <name>mapred.tasktracker.dns.nameserver</name>
  <value>DN</value>
  <description>The host name or IP address of the name server (DNS)
  which a TaskTracker should use to determine the host name used by
  the JobTracker for communication and display purposes.
  </description>
 </property>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

-John
