I am trying to add nginx ingress controller with ssl passthrough for one service and ssl termination for other services. According to the documentation present at [TLS/HTTPS - NGINX Ingress Controller](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/tls/#ssl-passthrough) it leverages SNI and needs virtual domain for services and also requires to have compatible clients. What does this mean ? How do I achieve this configuration in nginx ingress/controller. ?

Necessary annotations are added while installation and for Ingress Resource for SSL Passthrough.
