      1. Proposed title of this feature request
        Allow customers to use their own LB for external api/ingress traffic for OCP 4 IPI VMware installs.

      2. What is the nature and description of the request? 

        Allow customers to use their own LB for external api/ingress traffic for OCP 4 IPI VMware installs. This would be the exact same method that is approved for OpenStack and Baremental [1] [2].

      3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

        Customers who are not satisfied with the self-hosted LB architecture limitations ( traffic goes through a single node, node failover can cause traffic hit) can use their own LB.

      4. List any affected packages or components.
