Description

Is there any reason why the native transport port is not being stored in system.peers along the rpc broadcast address and transmitted to the connected drivers?

I would love to have that feature, that would allow me to "hide" my cluster behind a reverse NAT or LB and only consume one external IP address and forward packets based on the port the client is connecting to.

I guess it makes sense to provide the complete socket information instead of just the address and using a default port setting on the client to complete the connection information.
