I used the reindex api like so  
POST \_reindex?wait\_for\_completion=false

> {  
> "source": {  
> "remote": {  
> "host": "http://_remote_:9200",  
> "socket\_timeout": "10m",

> },

> "query": {  
> "match\_all": {}  
> }  
> },  
> "dest": {  
> "index": "something"  
> }  
> }

now when i watch for the task itself i get

I noticed that the transport adress is written as the internal node ip, and not what i passed on in the request (the external ip)

The remote and the destination are not in the same network, so i end up with connection timeout on the task itself
