Description

When working with the rackspace cloud after the vm has started the rackspace network configuring tools 'Rack Connect' reconfigures the machine to lock down the public ip and allow internal access on its private ip only.

This happens in parallel with the jclouds ConcurrentOpenSocket which would select the public ip as the ip address to configure against before the rackconnect process runs.
The patch makes the ConcurrentOpenSocket only try connect on the private ip address causing it to block until that interface is available.
