title: Is there a way to have a proxied request respond straight to the requestor?
body: <p>So let's say I have the following (obviously simplified) architecture: I have 10 servers running the same REST API endpoint. I have an intermediate API which fields requests, and then forwards it to one of the servers (a load balancer).</p>
  
  <p>Now let's imagine that this is a really big, streaming response. As such, I obviously don't want the data to have to go back through the load balancer -- because wouldn't this bog down and defeat the purpose of the load balancing server?. What would be the proper way to implement a load balancing system that would delegate a request to node but not force the response back through the load balancing server?</p>
  
  <p>Further, are there any REST frameworks on the JVM that implement this?</p>
