Scaling machines connected to tailnet

Hi, im exploring running on demand workloads that can tolerate cold starts to optimize for cost. One thing making it difficult is machines are connected to private tailscale network so they generate traffic which i suppose would not let fly io autoscaler scale it down. Are there any workarounds? Intention is to ignore tailscale traffic and downscale if the machine is idle.

this is what it does already; the downscaler only looks at HTTP requests through fly-proxy to check if the machine is idle.

as an alternative, if you need more specific behaviour, you can have your app exit if it has processed no work for a given amount of time.
