If for example, I have two servers on my local network and all incoming traffic goes to one of them, but I want to redirect part of the traffic using traefik to other server using `Host()` rule. Is it possible to proxy to from one local server to another even if traffic is coming from outside? I'm coming from nginx where proxy\_pass worked without any issues with it, but when I try to use `loadBalancer.servers.url`, it in the browser says `ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS` or with curl `404 not found`. Is it even possible to do this or should I just go back? (Another server doesn't have port forwarding, so I don't have any other way of sending traffic to it other than it coming from another server on the network.)

You can forward requests from Traefik to another server via [route](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/routers/) and [service](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/services/). That can be placed in a dynamic configuration file which you load in the static config with [provider.file](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/providers/file/).
