That indicates that something it wrong somewhere.

It will "work" fine when you are reverse-proxying for just one server
name; but things will break when you try to add the "cloud" name as well.

So you should find which part of your config (nginx, or the internal
"gw" server) is writing that WAN IP address, and make it stop.
