Description
(This is used to request new product features, please visit for questions on using Istio)
Have a need to support multiple istio ingressgateway deployments with different LoadBalancer frontend IPs due to performance and scalability concerns. Currently unable to use cert-manager for certificate issuance with multiple istio ingressgateways deployments.
Currently, in the istio MeshConfig; only 1 `ingressSelector` and `ingressClass` can be configured. This results in only 1 istio ingressgateway deployment to be selectable as the ingress controller for the `IngressClass`. This prevents being able to configure multiple Cert-manager ClusterIssuers which specify an `IngressClass` in the ingress template to point to each of the different ingressgateway deployments.
So if the `IngressSelector` is configured to istio ingressgateway deployment A, any certificate challenges for domains served by ingressgateway deployment B will get sent to the LoadBalancer frontend IP for A, which will fail to resolve the domain.
Request: support multiple `ingressClass` and `ingressSelector` to support the multiple istio ingressgateway deployment use case.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Tried putting cert-manager inside the istio service mesh so I could use istio egress routes to re-route all cert-manager cert issuance connections to their respective istio ingressgateway deployment based on FQDN/URI, but the cert-manager controller component is incompatible with istio-proxy and fails to talk to its webhook component.
