At this point I have more questions than answers, but this seems like a good place to reference what I’ve found thus far. If all the nodes are known ahead of time, it seems like Running Elixir and Phoenix projects on a cluster of nodes - DockYard is a pretty good reference.
If the nodes are coming in and out, like what is occurring in my scenario, this project seems promising: GitHub - shortishly/mdns: Multicast DNS in Erlang/OTP · GitHub
As my elixir app is a side project, I haven’t had the time to actually try either. Hopefully someone that has can offer some insight.
Regarding networking modes…I just don’t know enough about them to offer anything there.
