I am going to send in lots of data into my elasticsearch cluster and I need to protect my cluster from being seen on my internal network. I am intending to put in a device with load balancing and reverse proxy turn on. Is this configuration possible? I will also be querying huge amount of data from my cluster. Will this cause any problems? ---
