What I found with the (pre-release) whirr 0.8.0, so far:

When a pair of zookeeper nodes are started, the zoo.cfg files have LAN 
ip addrs and they were able to connect to each other (after I modified 
the generated sec. group by hand).

.whirr/*/instances in effect looks like this:

   $REGION/$instanceID  $ROLES  $IP_WAN  $IP_LAN

There is no domain name.  An old version of whirr running on EC2 has the 
same format except that IP_WAN is a public domain name.

And hpcloud console detail on one of the instances created shows 2 
public ip addresses (!); one is "fixed" and the other is "floating" 
(hmm, either of those terms could imply static).

I can use "dig -x $localIP" to find a PTR rec (example: 
server-9999999999-az-1-region-a-geo-1.novalocal.), but the public ip 
finds nothing, and this lookup only works on the $localIP host itself.
