external apps: for cPanel backend ?
 

I was looking at a new litespeed test install and I noticed something that seemed new in the exteral app settings:

127.0.0.1:2086
127.0.0.1:2077
127.0.0.1:2095
127.0.0.1:2082

Is this an attempt to make cpanel use litespeed instead of their slow apache backend?

Or is it just a reverse proxy of some kind?

By the way, ports 2083 and 2087 are also used, but they are https ssl so I am not sure if the same concept applies or not.

these are proxy and serve as redirect from lsws (http://localhost/whm, http://localhost/cpanel, etc) to whm/cpanel (i.e. port 2086, 2082, etc).
