	Note that your VM will have multiple internal IPs, each of which map to one external floating IP. For example, your VM may have two IP addresses 192.168.0.5 → 1.2.3.4 and 192.168.0.6 → 4.3.2.1. To accept incoming connections on the different IP addresses, you should configure your applications to listen on one of the internal IP addresses.

		+	== Configuring software for floating IP addresses ==
		+
		+	If you have one IP address assigned to your VM, typically special configuration is not needed. The configuration below is generally intended to manage multiple IP addresses assigned to one container.
		+
		+	=== cPanel ===
		+
		+	cPanel provides 1:1 NAT support to make it easy to use the panel on cloud infrastructures such as Luna Node Dynamic. See http://releases.cpanel.net/releases/11-40/11-nat-support/ or details on how you should add the IP addresses to cPanel. Note that "public IP address" in the link refers to the floating IP address, while "private IP address" refers to the address configured on the network interface on your VM.
		+
		+	=== Apache ===
		+
		+	Suppose that you are assigned two floating IP addresses for two private interfaces:
		+
		+	* 170.75.160.2 for 172.20.0.2
		+	* 170.75.160.3 for 172.20.0.3
		+
		+	If you want to run a website on 170.75.160.2, use 172.20.0.2 in the Apache configuration. If you want to run a website on 170.75.160.3, then use 172.20.0.3.
