Hi Greg - Thank you for your idea.
Maximo Application Suite relies on OpenShift to enable deployment in any hybrid cloud environment on prem, in private cloud, or public cloud.
OpenShift itself relies on several services, including DNS resolution to function, and our apps follow those practices. While DNS works inside the cluster, that also means that a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) needs to resolve for an endpoint connecting to the cluster.
This unfortunately is not configurable beyond some hacks on the client-side which aren't recommended (eg adding "hosts" file entries, or trying to use an intermediate DNS server).
As such we won't be able to support resolving traffic to a specific IP address for a given edge endpoint, especially given that the services naturally may "move around" in the virtual network within the environment as the environment operates and containers start / restart / stop / upgrade.
