Validate the generated dial hostname.
Line 165 accepts underscores because llm-request-router.isValidDnsName permits _. The generated $(POD_NAME).<domain> value must be a DNS hostname. A valid 253-character domain can also make the generated hostname exceed 253 characters. Reject non-hostname labels and validate the longest generated pod hostname. Add render cases for an underscore and the hostname-length boundary.

Require the listener port to match the published Service port.
Line 169 only checks that reverseTunnelListenAddr is non-empty. If it is 0.0.0.0:50073 while service.reverseTunnelPort remains 50072, deployment.yaml advertises and service-per-pod.yaml routes UDP port 50072, but the router listens on 50073. Workers cannot establish the reverse tunnel. Require matching ports, or derive both values from one setting. Add a render failure test for a mismatch.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Support replica-specific DNS annotations.
Lines 36-38 copy the same annotation map to every Service. A standard external-dns hostname annotation therefore assigns the same hostname to all replica Services, although deployment.yaml dials distinct $(POD_NAME).<domain> names. DNS can then return the address of a different replica and break reverse-tunnel affinity. Generate or configure annotations per ordinal, and add a render check that each Service receives its matching hostname.

Assert the default reverse-tunnel dial address.
The comment says the default render keeps $(POD_IP):50072, but Line 102 checks only that no per-pod Services exist. A regression that removes or changes the default dial argument would pass. Capture statefulset_args for default_manifest and assert the exact pod-IP argument.

grep -Fc aborts the script before the diagnostic prints.
grep -c exits with status 1 when the count is 0. With set -e, the assignment on Line 56 then terminates the script, so the message on Line 58 never prints. A regression that drops the backend namespace fails with no explanation. Add || true.

Require an effective backend-router image repository.
When backendRouter.enabled is true and both repository values are empty, this helper renders :tag. Kubernetes cannot start a container with that image reference. Require the resolved repository before formatting the image. Add a render test for the rejected empty-repository case.
Proposed fix
-{{- $repository := default .Values.llmRequestRouter.image.repository $image.repository -}}

Set metadata.namespace on the ServiceMonitor.
Every other resource in this cohort pins namespace: {{ include "llm-request-router.namespace" . }}. This ServiceMonitor relies on the install namespace instead. If llm-request-router.namespace resolves to an override, the ServiceMonitor lands outside the namespace listed in its own namespaceSelector, and Prometheus discovery can break.

Self-managed NVCF has no supported path to connect LLM workers to a request router outside their own cluster or region. A worker holds one registration stream and one reverse QUIC tunnel to every replica at once, and peer forwarding between replicas is development-only, so each connection must reach a specific replica. The advertised addresses are cluster-internal, so nothing outside the router's pod network can reach them. Package the existing stargate-k8s-router crate as a deployable component and route on per-connection identity: gRPC on the HTTP/2 authority, reverse QUIC on the SNI. Workers then use one front door per region instead of one endpoint per replica, which is what keeps the external surface flat as replicaCount grows. - Ship /usr/local/bin/stargate-k8s-router in the versioned Stargate runtime image and publish the three OCI targets to distinct repositories, rejecting duplicate publish destinations. - Add an opt-in backend-router Deployment with EndpointSlice RBAC, health probes, metrics discovery, and TLS and ServiceAccount validation. - Pass the external gRPC and reverse-tunnel dial addresses to each Stargate replica while preserving its per-pod advertised identity. - Add opt-in TCPRoute, UDPRoute, and ReferenceGrant resources to nvcf-gateway-routes. - Pre-initialize the bounded reverse-tunnel outcome counters so they are present on the first Prometheus scrape. Rebased onto current main, which moved substantially since this work was first written. Two integration defects surfaced and are fixed here: - The advertised hostname helper existed on both sides and merged into a duplicate definition, which failed every render. - validateCertificateDnsNames ran against the configured dnsNames while the Certificate appended the backend-router wildcard afterwards, so enabling backend routing failed validation for a certificate that would have been correct. Both now read the effective list from one shared helper. The NVCA DefaultStargateAddress fallback from the original change is deliberately omitted. The worker launch environment is expected to always supply LLM_REQUEST_ROUTER_ADDRESS. All new routing resources are disabled by default and the default render is resource-identical to main.

Backend routing now follows addons.llm.enabled instead of being a separate opt-in. A worker holds one registration stream and one reverse tunnel per replica and each must reach a named replica, so the router is the connection path in every topology, not only in split-cluster ones. Keeping it on means single-cluster installs exercise the same path that split-cluster and multi-region installs depend on, rather than that path existing only where it is hardest to test. Always-on requires the chart to render with no operator configuration, so both pylon dial addresses now default to the backend-router Service in-cluster, and the image tag falls back to the chart appVersion the way the main image already does. Split-cluster and multi-region operators override the dial addresses with externally reachable ones. Two defaults change because the router is now the single front door for worker registration in its region: - replicaCount goes to 2. One replica made it a single point of failure for every worker in the region. The router keeps no state beyond the QUIC sessions it terminates and an EndpointSlice watch, so it scales horizontally. - The Service sets sessionAffinity ClientIP and replicas carry a soft node anti-affinity. Each replica terminates QUIC itself and cannot resume a session that began on another, so an unpinned client that rehashes mid-session costs the worker a stateless reset and reconnect. Resources are raised from 50m/64Mi to 250m/256Mi requested, with the CPU ceiling lifted to 2. The router relays every byte of the reverse tunnel, and that tunnel carries inference traffic rather than only control messages, so it is a data path component and pays TLS costs twice per connection. These values are not load validated. Relates to #689 Relates to #584 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Camp <mcamp@nvidia.com>
The OpenBao signing role this chart provisions is created with allow_subdomains=true and allow_bare_domains=false. A certificate SAN outside pki.allowedDomains therefore renders cleanly and is then rejected by OpenBao at issuance, surfacing as a cert-manager failure with no pointer back to the value that caused it. This was the one coupling in the LLM PKI path with no render-time guard. Enabling backend routing with the LLM addon made it materially easier to hit. The chart appends the pod-hostname wildcard to the Certificate whenever backend routing is on, so every LLM deployment with PKI now requests an in-cluster wildcard. An operator whose allowedDomains omits cluster.local previously rendered and installed; now the request would be refused at issuance. Validate coverage at render instead, applying the role's own rules: a name is covered when it is a strict subdomain of an allowed domain, a wildcard is additionally covered when it sits directly on one, and a bare domain is never covered because the role refuses bare issuance. The tests pin the cases that must NOT fail as well as those that must. A guard that is too strict here would block valid deployments, which is worse than the trap it replaces. Three of them were initially passing for the wrong reason and were corrected: the near-miss suffix case had the pattern inverted, and the bare-domain case was failing on the appended wildcard rather than on the bare name, so the bare rule was never exercised.

TL;DR
Self-managed NVCF has no supported path to connect LLM workers to a request
router outside their own cluster or region. This packages the existing
stargate-k8s-routercrate as a deployable component that routes onper-connection identity, so workers use one front door per region instead of
one endpoint per replica.
All new routing resources are disabled by default, and the default render is
resource-identical to
main.Additional Details
Why routing needs per-connection identity
A worker does not connect to one replica.
client.rs:73-86spawns oneregistration stream per discovered router, and each stream runs its own reverse
tunnel loop (
router_stream.rs:77), so with three replicas a single workerholds three gRPC streams and three QUIC tunnels simultaneously.
Peer forwarding between replicas is development-only
(
--enable-dev-peer-forwarding, which logs "must not run in production"), so areplica can serve only the workers it personally holds a tunnel to. A
round-robin load balancer therefore cannot serve this traffic: connections
intended for three distinct replicas collapse onto whichever backend the LB
picks, leaving some replicas unable to serve that worker at all.
The router demuxes instead: gRPC on the HTTP/2
:authority, reverse QUIC onthe SNI.
Why one front door matters
The worker's discovery set expands transitively.
desired_watch_urls_from_snapshot_lookupseeds from the configured address andfolds each response's
watch_stargate_urlsinto a pending queue until closure,and the proto documents those as endpoints "for remote regions". Registration
targets are then flattened across every snapshot, so a worker registers with
every replica in every region.
That makes the externally reachable endpoint count
N x Rfor N replicasacross R regions under any per-replica addressing scheme. Routing on identity
keeps it at
R, independent of replica count.What this does not change
Replica affinity was already correct on
main, and single-cluster deploymentsalready work at any
replicaCount. This PR is about reachability from outsidethe router's pod network, not about fixing routing correctness.
For the Reviewer
This is a rebase of previously reviewed work onto a
mainthat movedsubstantially underneath it. Two integration defects surfaced during the rebase
and are worth the closest look, since neither existed in the original change:
_helpers.tpl- the advertised hostname helper existed on both sides andauto-merged into a duplicate
define, which failed every render. Thesurviving version is the backend-router-aware one, which is a superset.
certificate.yamlandvalidateCertificateDnsNames- the validator ranagainst the configured
dnsNameswhile the Certificate appended thebackend-router wildcard afterwards, so enabling backend routing failed
validation for a certificate that would have been correct. Both now read the
effective list from a single shared helper,
llm-request-router.effectiveCertificateDnsNames.Also worth confirming: the QUIC leg terminates TLS at the router
(
quic.rs:73-87builds a server config with a cert reloader), so the routerpresents the Stargate server identity and holds the leaf private key, and the
pod-facing gRPC leg is plaintext h2c (
grpc.rs:147). That is a deliberatetrade for the single front door and should be an explicit decision, not a
surprise.

QA needed: yes, and it cannot be done from this PR alone. Live validation
requires a released runtime image containing
/usr/local/bin/stargate-k8s-router, and a two-cluster environment. Asingle-cluster test proves nothing, because that path already works on
main.The discriminating test is a worker in a separate compute cluster with no
hand-added L4 reachability, asserting one registration stream and one reverse
tunnel per replica, each terminating on the replica that issued its ack.
