Hi Richard, the Graylog web interface (in version 2.x) has been designed to be a single-page application (SPA) which, once it has been loaded by the user's web browser, will only communicate with the Graylog REST API.
You can override the default URI the web interface is using with the web_endpoint_uri setting or the X-Graylog-Server-URL HTTP request header, see http://docs.graylog.org/en/2.1/pages/configuration/web_interface.html#how-does-the-web-interface-connect-to-the-graylog-server for details. In general, rest_transport_uri should be the URI of the Graylog REST API, which other Graylog nodes are able to connect to (i. e. not the URI of your load balancer), while web_endpoint_uri should be the URI of the Graylog REST API, which the web interface should connect to (i. e. the URI of your load balancer).
