Hi, all.

Before we can roll scalr out internally, there's a few last min things that 
need to be taken care of.  Primarily, disaster recovery


I have two questions:

They both assume the following: 

1.  The scalr server lives in AWS. A snapshot of the system is made every 
12 hours.  The scalr server is scalr.mycorp.com DNS entry pointing to an 
EIP.
2.  There was a catastrophic failure; the box is 100% unavailable, all i 
have is a snapshot.


So my firs question:

1. Let's assume that I can bring the server up and things are working fine. 
 What about all the nodes that were created / spun up since my last backup? 
E.G.  I created the most recent snapshot at Noon.  at 4 PM i launched 5 new 
instances.  How can I get scalr to 'know' about those nodes?  There will be 
no record of them on the snapshot; only in AWS.  Will the scalr-agent 
phoning home be 'enough' to get things working agin?

2. Let's say that i have nodes that are configured to talk to 1.2.3.4 as 
the scalr server.  What file(s) do i need to update on the clients so that 
they'll begin talking to the scalr server located a 6.7.8.9?  Can this even 
work?


Thanks!
