Reverse Proxy Target Address Object

A reverse proxy target address object is specified as a backend target address in a reverse proxy service object. It is used by the service object to establish a backend connection to an application. The application can be the address of one or more application load balancers or instances in the form of IPs or FQDNs. The different types of reverse proxy target address objects are defined as follows:

Static IP/FQDN Address Object

An IP/FQDN address object is configured as a set of IP addresses or FQDNs. When more than one IP or FQDN is configured, the gateway handles the addresses without priority amongst the configured fields when setting up a backend connection. When an FQDN is configured, the gateway resolves the FQDN with DNS to determine the IP address to use when setting up a backend connection.

Dynamic Applications Address Object

An applications address object is configured as an individual application load balancer cloud resource determined by its applications tag. The configuration dynamically populates a set of IPs or FQDNs represented by the cloud resources, obtained from the cloud account using the Multicloud Defense real-time inventory discovery. Any changes to the cloud resources will be automatically reflected in the address object. When the configuration results in more than one IP or FQDN, the gateway handles the fields with no priority amongst the set when setting up a backend connection. When the configuration result is an FQDN, the gateway will resolve the FQDN with the DNS to determine the IP address to use when setting up a backend connection.
