What's really interesting is that you can capture amazon-dns traffic. This is gold for security purposes.

It's about time. Finally, IDS/Session monitoring that is external to the hosts one is monitoring.

Awesome feature that will likely unlock a bunch of services or service providers like Iceberg, Snort and Suricata to be able to capture and inspect traffic inside the cloud.

Oh interesting. Could you use this to test a system using live traffic before a release?

This looks really useful. I think you can now offer a full intrusion detection service as a marketplace service on AWS with minimal configuration.

Slightly off-topic:<p>Amazon Polly breathing in drives me nuts.

I wonder if this could be used for high availability between two ec2 instances (vrrp/hsrp style)
