FYI, if I add the ingress url's to my /etc/hosts on the 127.0.0.0 line, it works but hoping it was automatic within rancher's dns

@ancient-painter-37799 wget and curl don't necessarily treat *.localhost the way browsers (e.g chrome) do. e.g https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/9192

So the issue is different. I was just checking to see if the pods could talk to each other. The issue is the web (node.js) container builds a payload using the ingress url that will be used another containers post command. But uses the ingress url to build the payload and the other API container has no clue about the ingress url and fails 😞. Not sure how to resolve this.. sigh.
