Hi Christian, From an RSA perspective this is a Topology Management issue, not a discovery issue. Services should be exposed by the Distribution Provider with multiple ExportRegistrations (and hence multiple EndpointDescriptions), one for the “internal” URL and one for the “proxied” URL The Topology Manager on the client side should then import the Endpoint Description that gives the behaviour that it desires.
Using multiple discovery services to do this sort of scoping is possible, but much more complicated than controlling it using the Topology Manager. Adding a simple filter to the client side’s Topology Manager’s EndpointEventListener would probably be sufficient, and could be done easily using Config Admin.
