POC - Add ip as an option to listeners

[shaun-nx]

As an engineer, I would like to have the option to set a specific IP for a listener so that I can create traffic rules for resources with static IP addresses.

UACs

Beta Give feedback

1. Allow for a listener to be defined with the same port, and different IP address

Hi @shaun-nx thanks for reporting!

Be sure to check out the docs and the Contributing Guidelines while you wait for a human to take a look at this 🙂

Cheers!

Closing in favour of implementation of ip listener: #6067

Here is a describe of the GlobalConfiguration when ip listener is enabled.

This is the output snippet of the nginx.conf without the ip listener in GlobalConfiguration

...
server {
    listen 8084;
    listen [::]:8084;


    server_name cafe.example.com;

    set $resource_type "virtualserver";
    set $resource_name "cafe";
    set $resource_namespace "default";
