How to use internaly Cloud Files from dedicated servers when using Rackconnect

This is a similar to the previous post: It is possible to use Cloud Files on the private ServiceNet from Cloud Servers .

This issue a example where this questions was asked: Gladinet CloudAFS : RackSpace Servicenet

When the Rackconnect is implementd it changes the default gateway on the cloud servers. It is used as defautl gateway for the dedicated servers when they want to sent traffic to the Rackspace cloud infrastructure. That all togheter means that when the dedicated server wants to sent a Cloud Files API request all what they have to do is to use the privatge network IP address/URL name [1]
