Hi, just to see whether the following setup will work on ignition backend calling webdev API:

1. use NGINX as reverse proxy server.
2. setup multiple ignition gateway server on different clouds.
3. develop ignition web dev for API comms with client.
4. use NGINX to distribute the load.

This setup works pretty well on NGINX & node.js, but will it work for ignition?

And if I already have two ignition gateway set up as redundant server, do I need to remove the redundancy to get the load balancing function working? Assuming both gateway have the same setup of web dev APIs.
