Yes, doing a string match and identify private IPs is the most common
approach. One complication is, what if that multimap contains several
addresses for a given instance.

I'm quoting JClouds' dev:
"I've noticed that the jclouds API has changed so that it no
longer has getPrivateAddresses() and getPublicAddresses()
methods. It now has just a getAddresses() method which returns a
multimap of vlan names and IP addresses. This makes sense because
it supports a wider variety of network topologies. Also, I've
seen some Essex installations use the vlan name "fixed" or
"novanet"; I'm not sure why."
Chamith,
Is it a good practice to distinguish public and private IP
addresses using the private IP address ranges below and do a
string matching?
* 10.0.0.0 ... 10.255.255.255
* 172.16.0.0 ... 172.31.255.255
* 192.168.0.0 ... 192.168.255.255
And further, may be we could try to connect to the IP (found from
'string matching') within our java code and see whether that IP is
accessible and then only select it?
