I have a cluster of proxy servers on GKE, and I'm trying to figure out how to load balance CONNECT requests to these.

Without GKE, I'm using the nginx stream module (http://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_core_module.html) which works perfectly.

GCP load balancers do not accept CONNECT requests, so I'm trying to take my existing nginx configuration file and apply it to an nginx ingress resource for GKE. Is this possible?
