Ah had actually seen those, but missed putting it in the config
(oops). Good news is that bug fix is back ported into the latest
ubuntu package (as of sept 3). Bad news after chasing my problem
around all day that isn't really my problem...I actually ran out of
fixed addresses, thought I'd defined a /16 but actually defined a /24
oops.

That gives me info a bout instances but not compute-nodes, there has
to be a way to do this because it is done :) Guess me & the source
need to have a little quite time to talk this over...
