Cheers Aaron ...

getNaturalEndpoints is perfect.  I can pull a random key and analyze
the results to check our business rules.  Automated through monitoring
...   Excellent.

As for security, I had looked at the SSL option a month ago maybe ...
For us, this would be a great feature, except, by implementing the VPN
tunnels on EC2, we've found a decrease in latency between cassandra
nodes.  As mentioned in another post, I'm not sure why, and wont start
to try and debug ... happy with this accidental finding.  So..
although the security enhancement is very good, it wouldn't help me on
the latency side and I suspect it would add a few more milliseconds...
 which is important when shuttling data from APAC to NA and Europe ..
