All this is great. I have one question n this, that I am not able to get a clear answer on.
May be it's totally stupid and if so, just let me know as such and I would even appreciate that.
So far looks like all the setup are design to be with relayd in from and all traffic going through a box running relayd and then accessing boxes behind it. I am trying to find ways to actually have relayd do what it does but not having to have the traffic going through it, but redirect by it as a traffic director instead. Doesn't look likes all examples show any setup like that. Is it possible, doable, or stupid to try doing so.
I would much prefer, if possible for example having one relayd redirect web traffic for example to a series of boxes that could reply directly to the end users instead of having to come back through relayd box to be sent back to the users.
It would allow for example to spread the load between boxes that are located in different data center instead of all on the same boxes behind the relayd in the same data center.
And even if the boxes are in the same data center, it would allow to have that box reply directly to the end users without the need to carry all the traffic through it.
I hope my details is understandable, if not, I can do some design to illustrate it.
Best, Daniel
