@JD, thanks for the reply n ur bootstrap gist

I looked at it. But my question about the ssh hanging when elastic_ip is attached is not answered?

Or am I getting it wrong?

Anybody, any pointers?

I use a custom bootstrap that runs `chef-client --once --daemonize`. I

ended up doing this because my recipe to launch new MySQL slaves

currently requires copying ~150GB of data from a single EBS volume

created from a snapshot onto a newly created EBS RAID set, which can

take a few hours and my SSH connections were timing out. But, this

seems like it would work in this scenario as well.

I call `knife ec2 server create` from a wrapper script which sets

ROLES and ENVIRONMENT which are used in this template. That's a bit

hacky and there's probably a better way to do this, but it's working

for me for now.

The downside to this is that you lose the in-line output from

chef-client, but it's easy to ssh into the machine and tail

/var/log/chef.log to watch it's progress.
