The /x is used as identifier to take the connection the required server in backened. Like /directory is common in all server if we want server1/ directory to access from outside, then /x is added in url to use it condition to match and then forward to server 1.

Please suggest how can we edit the responses urls. 

If there is way to include in the response going back "/x/" it would be able to resolve from client.

    Abhi-netdive If your intent is to allow the client to pick which server they want to be balanced to you should have them insert a cookie or header field that specifies the server and direct traffic that way so you do not have to manipulate the path on request or response.
