IST receiver unable to bind address to public IP

In AWS ec2, applications are only allowed to listen private IP rather than public IP. Public IP is not visible on the host. Anything send to public IP will be forward to corresponding private IP. IST receiver will try to bind the address specified by wsrep_node_address. For galera clusters across data centers, we must set wsrep_node_address to node public IP address.
Here’s the problem:
No NIC has public IP.
Setting wsrep_node_address to public IP address will make IST receiver tries to bind that IP and fails:

2016-08-04 06:06:16 19852 [Warning] WSREP: Failed to prepare for incremental state transfer: Failed to open IST listener at tcp://52.207.12.34:4568’, asio error ‘Cannot assign requested address’: 99 (Cannot assign requested address) at galera/src/ist.cpp:prepare():326. IST will be unavailable.

Setting wsrep_node_address to private IP address will cause the donor node tries to access joiner node via private IP address, which is not possible.

We need to separate the listening address (private) and access adresss (public). Setting wsrep_node_incoming_address is not helping in this case. The donor still tries to access joiner via wsrep_node_address (private).

same boat

tried playing around with

;ist.bind_addr=local and public
;ist.recv_addr=local and public

wsrep_node_incoming_address=local public and donor
wsrep_sst_receive_address=local public and donor
wsrep_sst_donor=“donor” with DNS set in /etc/hosts file

all have been fruitless attemps

how is this meant to be configured to work with a mixed public and private IP ?

they connect and see info about each other just never start data transfers
