Feature goal (what are we trying to solve here?)

Allow assisted to use internal cluster service/ip to verify or connect to workload cluster(s) in addition to the current pathway with verifying clusters via their external api address.

Use-case is specific to hosted clusters where the workload cluster lives on the management cluster and can thereby be reached by the internal cluster ip rather than the external api address.

Reasoning (why it’s important?)

• If a customer using hosted control planes deploys many clusters and also uses a proxy, with our current design, they'd need to add all the dns/ips of these workload clusters to the hub's no proxy.
• How does this feature help the product?
  • Streamlines the user experience by preventing users from having to specify their workload clusters in the no proxy configuration in advance
