There is two approaches.
1) You make public endpoints and horizon public. White IP, resolvable
FQDN for endpoints, etc.
2) You hide endpoints from user (boo... no api, no automation), but
expose horizon.
Second case: horizon will sits as middleware between 'internal' networks
where endpoints live, and outer world. Horizon may works fine even all
endpoints are hidden from user. But wsgi part of the Horizon should be
able to access endpoints.
