I have a set-up running on Amazon cloud with a couple of EC2 Instances running through a load balancer.

It is important that the site has a unique(static) IP or set of IPs as I'm plugging in 3rd party APIs which only accept requests made from IPs which have been added to their whitelist.

So basically unless we can give these 3rd parties a static IP or range of IPs that the requests from the site will always come from then we would be unable to make any calls to them.

Anyone knows how to achieve this as I know that Elastic IPs are not compatible with load balancers?

If I were to look up the IP of the load balancer DNS name (e.g. dualstack.awseb-BAMobile-ENV-xxxxxxxxx.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com resolves to 200.200.200.200) would that IP be Static?

Any help/advise is greatly appreciated guys.
