Cause all my services bind to a private IP on the inside. I don't see the real IP that it is receiving traffic on.
Also, if I have multiple IP's with EIP's attached so I can host multiple services (with unique IP's) I have to write automation to make sure I bind the service to the right internal private IP for the appropriate external IP address. It'd be much better if the IP address were routed directly to my EC2 instance.

Isn't that done in a more straightforward fashion by AWS loadbalancers? AWS load balancer IPs and ports on one side, listeners on the other side talking to your instances - if the instances are also in auto-scaling groups, there's zero automation needed after you set this up.
