Possible to set "whitelisted ips" in ratelimiting

Title: Set ratelimiting to all cidrs with exceptions

Description:

I have usecase that I should add ratelimiting to all addresses (0.0.0.0/0) EXCEPT few "whitelisted ips". As I see it, it is quite common use case that people want to set rate limits to everything except few internal api ips (whitelist services that should work always, no matter what).

Relevant Links:
https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/route/v3/route_components.proto#envoy-v3-api-msg-config-route-v3-ratelimit-action

currently envoy does not support exceptions to the remote_address matcher. But it could have "not logic"?

I think a "composite" filter could help here. You could wrap the enforcement in a conditional filter that limits the application of the enforcement filter.
