Hello everyone,

I'm new to OpenStack and have been reading the documentation and testing some of the REST APIs that are exposed. I have been able to get the basics working and have been able to invoke the APIs from a REST client.

One such API I'm trying is fetching endpoints for a particular tenant as noted here http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-identity-v2.html (http://developer.openstack.org/api-re...) with a GET request for http://IP:5000/v2.0/tokens/myvalidtoken/endpoints (http://IP:5000/v2.0/tokens/myvalidtok...) with the X-Auth-Token header set to my valid token. The JSON output it generates is as follows (just the relevant parts):

{
 "name": "nova",
 "adminURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "internalURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "publicURL": "http://controller:8774/v2/fef6a56cb3ec4adca49d769b604ae572",
 "type": "compute",
....
}

Why do the URLs have "controller" in there instead of an IP?
