Could we loose Backend endpoints IP loopback validation ?

Hi, we are using Envoy Gateway (EG) to manage traffic between our on-prem and public cloud services. However, in our internal network setup, we have a restriction that disable direct access to public cloud environments without routing traffic through an internal HTTP proxy.

The traffic flow is
client->envoy->[proxy2]->exampleorg.com

The issue is similar to https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/21175, where a loopback is required for tcp tunneling. We follow their solution to reach public cloud services.

After we upgrade EG, we find that the Backends IP loopback validation is added https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/blob/main/internal/gatewayapi/backend.go#L61-L63 which prevents us to create a loopback backend. Could we loose the Backend endpoints IP loopback validation ?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
