AltostratusSorry, words are difficulty to explain what we need. So I put together the below diagram. What I want to achieve is a completely transparent migration with zero interruption to business. Ultimately, the migration is to save money - taxpayer's money. Hope the diagram is clearer.

MVPthe drawing shows what you explained before and what Simon says seems to be the solution. it is a pretty common setup.
but then you add information about local channels and bind addresses and such. that doesn't become more clear in the drawing unfortunately. you probably will have to show some more of about the middleware for someone to understand that part and perhaps chip in.
what kind of outbound traffic is it, perhaps that helps? i.e. can you test with a ping or something?
