>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
>            Reporter: Chris Burroughs

> Currently we have two instances of the "use the local ip inside the same datacenter trick":
>  * Ec2MultiRegionSnitch -- which is obviously EC2 specific
>  * YamlFileNetworkTopologySnitch -- which is powerful but verbose
> There is no reason that GossipingPropertyFileSnitch could not (optionally) do the same.  Attached is a patch that adds a preferLocal (default==false==current-behavior) property to GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and does the IEndpointStateChangeSubscriber reconnect dance.  I based it on the other snitches but admit that they still seem fairly magical to me.  This could be a new class that extends GossipingPropertyFileSnitch, but I could not think of a name that wasn't absurdly long.
