Can I SSH to an instance using a hostname instead of an IP address?
AppNexus assigns hostnames to servers (for example 021.webb.nym1.appnexus.net) but not to instances. If you’d like to refer to your instances by a fully qualified domain name, instead of only by IP, you can set up your own DNS record the same way you would assign a hostname to your office workstations. We can, however, assign PTR records to any IP.
