When requests from a pod send requests to itself, the proxy properly redirects traffic from the originating container in the pod through the outbound listener of the proxy. Once the request ends on the inbound side of the proxy, it skips the proxy and calls the original container that made the request. This can cause problems for containers that serve HTTP as the proxy naively tries to initiate an HTTP/2 connection to the destination of a request. (See #1585 for a concrete example)
This PR adds a new iptable rule, coupled with a proxy [change](https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2-proxy/pull/122) ensure that requests from a that occur in the aforementioned scenario, always redirect to the inbound listener of the proxy first.

We’ve built Conduit from the ground up to be the fastest, lightest,
simplest, and most secure service mesh in the world. It features an
incredibly fast and safe data plane written in Rust, a simple yet
powerful control plane written in Go, and a design that’s focused on
performance, security, and usability. Most importantly, Conduit
incorporates the many lessons we’ve learned from over 18 months of
production service mesh experience with Linkerd.
This repository contains a few tightly-related components:
- `proxy` -- an HTTP/2 proxy written in Rust;
- `controller` -- a control plane written in Go with gRPC;
- `web` -- a UI written in React, served by Go.
