 Hello Alex,

 thanks for letting me know. What you are saying is consistent with my 
 finding.

 What do you mean by client-side? Is there a way to assign one of the 
 unassigned floating IPs via EC2-API to an instance launched using the 
 EC2-API or should I keep an index of what is assigned and what not in 
 order not to assign something already assigned by mistake?

 Best,

 G.
