Sophos XG as reverse Proxy for Docker Container

Question

Hi, 
 when using a Docker Environment you configure a reverse proxy to publish the docker to the world (Apache or nginx). 
 Is it possible to skip that and use Sophos XG as Reverse Proxy instead? Otherwise you always have 2 reverse proxy in chain (not necessary I guess). 
 Is somebody experienced/has tips for descriptions? Didn't found until now. 
 Thanks for hints!

Hi GernotMeyer 
 Yes you can use the XGs WAF (Web Application Firewall) whereby it will point to your Docker server. Your Docker server should be running Apache itself but not necessarily in reverse proxy mode. The XG will handle that part. You can then apply various inbound scanning rules. 
 Thanks!
