In your case, since the ccm cluster nodes are bound to localhost
aliases, you would need to set up routing and port forwarding via
iptables from your public IP (10.11.12.13) to the respective localhost
aliases/ports.  ccm is great for local testing, but gets to be a pain if
you wish to do some real testing - not because of ccm, but because now
you want to do something that involves actual multi-host networking with
remote access.  Even easier, in my opinion; if you really want to begin
testing a real cluster with remote access, which will have a lot more
horsepower than everything on localhost via ccm, then spend $15/month on
3x $5/mo. digitalocean nodes.

Yup.  The nodes are not listening to anything but their localhost alias
IP addresses.

`man iptables`  ;)
