One of the Scalr.net servers has had its IP address changed. If you have a tight security policy and closed ports from the default, please update your security groups or other whitelists to let the following IP address communicate via ports 8013 and 8014:
Add: 184.173.242.34
Remove: 174.123.172.202
As you know, each instance in your Scalr account runs a little agent that communicates over ports 8013 and 8014 with the Scalr.net servers (at the listed IP addresses) to share load data. By not closing those ports, you let Scalr continue to operate.
More details in this wiki entry.
Why don’t you put a file on your server (e.g. http://scalr.net/ip.txt) with all the address you are using. It would be much easier for us to only include that file in our Firewall rules.
That way, you could change your IPs as often as you want without any impact on our side!
Smart man! We’ll discuss internally.
You can get an up-to-date list of Scalr IP addresses by executing “host ip-pool.scalr.net” from the command line
