Can't get a CouchDB Cluster working (connection_closed)

What will be tricky, is that those node names will need to be visible & consistent across all containers. I’d usually use DNS CNAMEs for this, but this sounds like it could be pretty fiddly to get working consistently.

There are a couple ways to achieve this on Fly short of Fly letting orgs muck with internal DNS zones.

1. Pinning a VM to a host (by mounting a volume) so its alloc-id doesn’t change as often.
2. If <appname> only ever deploys one VM per region, then <region>.<appname>.internal is as good as a CNAME (alias) to that singular VM.
