I don't understand quite well how does the `reindex.remote.whitelist` works when it comes to wildcards. Is there a way to whitelist `*:*` ? (my cluster is living on a private network) Is something like `10.*:*` is valid ? Since it takes restarts to reload the config, I really wan't to have the right configuration on the first take! ---

Per [the docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#reindex-from-remote); > (e.g. `otherhost:9200, another:9200, 127.0.10.*:9200, localhost:*` ) So yes, you can use wildcards where you want. ---
