When we try to connect to hbase running on an ec2 server from a machine outside ec2, the regionserver on port 60020 is trying to connect to the internal ip address rather than the external dns
i feel it's the same issue as this http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1279 but my client keeps getting 09/09/14 13:31:16 INFO ipc.HBaseClass: Retrying connect to server: / 10.244.150.243:60020. Already tried 26 time(s). 09/09/14 13:31:37 INFO ipc.HBaseClass: Retrying connect to server: / 10.244.150.243:60020.
