I'd recommend using the latest Juju version, either from the Juju PPA 
[1] on oneiric or the version shipped with precise.

This should be working fine.  We fixed some bugs in nova around security 
groups during Essex that I uncovered trying to get Juju working against 
it, but since then its been working nicely.  I've just bootstrapped 
against an Essex/12.04 and get a functioning security group rule set.  
This may look a bit different depending on what you've named the 
environment, but should be similar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/965169/

This is mostly a Nova config thing. By default, new instances' public 
hostnames are the same as their private hostnames.    If you want to be 
able to reach instances via their private hostname, you'd need to do 
some DNS magic outside of Juju like you are doing, or perhaps there is a 
documented way of achieving this in Nova itself.  The best solution is 
to instead add '--auto_assign_floating_ip' to nova.conf.  This will 
ensure a public floating IP is associated with new instances and allow 
Juju to reach its nodes that way instead.   This matches the behavior of 
EC2.
