"I don't see how making your dc/rack names your external IP address is going to solve anything."

well the NPE was on 
{code}
return Gossiper.instance.getEndpointStateForEndpoint(endpoint).getApplicationState(ApplicationState.DC).value;
{code}

the given endpoint is not the local address; its the address from "other" nodes. For those "other" nodes, if they are not using the Ec2Snitch, which would have populated the "ApplicationState.DC" and "ApplicationState.RACK" with the values, getApplicationState(ApplicationState.DC) (and getApplicationState(ApplicationState.RACK) for that matter) is going to be return null. Hence you got a NPE from that line on .value.

Defaulting the AbstractEndpointSnitch's gossiperStarting by populating the ApplicationState.DC,ApplicationState.RACK wll help then any snitch relying the gossip info to getDC and getRack.
