I have been watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUk1D9vd0HQ and reading the docs, it is quite unclear if all Gluu servers in a cluster requires an externally resolvable hostname and a public IP address. Is this a requirement? I would ideally like to setup the NGINX load balancer as a reverse proxy with 2 Gluu servers behind it (using internal IP addresses). Is this setup supported? Thank you.

No, it's not required. You can use internal ip address ( which are persistent ) and internal VM hostname ( Private DNS ) among VMs, but nginx Public DNS should be resolvable.

Hi Mohib, thanks for the answer. I have successfully setup an NGINX load balancer together with a single GLUU server backend. When I browse https://my_external_url, it redirects it to https://gluu_server_internal_hostname. Is there anyway to prevent this behaviour and just have the URL sit on https://my_external_url? Thanks.
