📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds split-cluster LLM router support. Helm renders validated per-replica external Services and remote Stargate arguments. Stargate expands per-region dial addresses. Local-cluster tooling creates compute-cluster aliases. Documentation and BDD tests cover TLS, routing, and multi-replica operation. ChangesSplit-cluster LLM router
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds per-replica TCP and UDP routing for split-cluster workers, but it is not merge-ready until hostname length validation and standalone namespace creation are fixed; the reversed test fixture settings also undermine validation, and customized service ports may produce incorrect aliases.

138-138: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider deriving 50071 and 50072 from the chart values.
The script hardcodes the service ports 50071 and 50072. The chart exposes them as
llmRequestRouter.service.grpcPortandllmRequestRouter.service.reverseTunnelPort(seedeploy/helm/llm-request-router/llm-request-router/templates/service-per-pod.yaml, Lines 41-48). If an operator changes those values, the compute aliases point at the wrong ports.

Validate the full per-replica hostname length.
Line 167 permits a 253-character domain. The deployment prepends {stargate_id}. or $(POD_NAME). to this value. The rendered dial hostname can then exceed the 253-character DNS hostname limit.
Limit externalAccess.domain so that the longest StatefulSet pod name plus the dot and domain remain within the DNS limit. Add a render test for this boundary.

Create ${control_namespace} before applying the shared aliases.
configure-compute-llm-router-endpoints does not depend on deploy-compute-control-plane-endpoints, which is the target that creates the default nvcf namespace. A standalone run can therefore fail when it applies the shared Service and Endpoints. Add ${control_namespace} to the rendered resources.

TL;DR
Allow pylons outside the Stargate cluster to bootstrap from one shared seed,
then register and connect to every Stargate replica through distinct TCP and
UDP dial endpoints while preserving the internal hostname for gRPC authority
and QUIC TLS SNI.
Additional Details
Why
Split-cluster LLM workers cannot reliably use one load-balanced address for
both Stargate discovery and per-replica reverse tunnels. A pylon must reconnect
to the same Stargate replica that returned the reverse-tunnel target, but the
existing shared dial override loses that replica identity.
What changed
--grpc-pylon-dial-addrwith an optional{stargate_id}token.Literal values keep the existing shared-address behavior. Missing IDs are
omitted with a structured warning when templating is enabled.

and QUIC certificate identity.

LLM BDD coverage.
No protobuf, public API, CLI schema, profile schema, or wire-format changes are
included.
Customer Release Notes
Self-managed LLM workers can connect securely to every Stargate replica across
cluster boundaries when operators provide per-replica DNS and transparent TCP
and UDP forwarding.
Plan Summary
External access creates one Service per configured router replica. Each Service
selects its StatefulSet pod by ordinal and exposes TCP 50071 plus UDP 50072.
The shared router Service remains the worker bootstrap endpoint.
Usage
Set
addons.llm.requestRouter.externalAccess.enabled, a region-uniqueexternalAccess.domain, and the provider-specific Service type or annotations.Configure provider-owned DNS so
<stargate-id>.<domain>reaches the matchingService without terminating or rewriting the transport.
Limitations
This change does not add DNS automation, an SNI demultiplexer, external
certificate SANs, LLM Gateway routing changes, or a single-regional-endpoint
design. Full multi-region failover is follow-up work.
For the Reviewer
The main review points are:
watch_stargates.rsfor literal and templated dial-address behavior.deployment.yamlandservice-per-pod.yamlfor the separation of externaldial targets from internal TLS identity.
configure-llm-router-endpoints.shfor protocol, NodePort, replica-count,and alias generation.
For QA
Validated locally with fresh control and compute k3d clusters, managed OpenBao
PKI, two LLM Gateways, two Stargates, two mock LLM replicas, and two physical
RTX A6000 allocations. Both pylons registered with both Stargates and formed
four authenticated QUIC tunnels with insecure mode disabled. One bounded smoke
chat and six sequential chats returned valid HTTP 200 OpenAI responses. Mock
backend counters were 3 and 4, proving that both replicas served traffic.
