I have client who wants to send a GET request to my Heroku application. They have asked for a list of IP address to whitelist for egress on their firewall.
I realize this could change weekly or more often, but is it possible to get a finite list of IPs my Heroku app could be on?
I saw the following excerpt on a Google Groups page for Heroku, but I could not find it corroborated anywhere else or how to see the list of addresses my app uses.
Right now your CNAME setup will round-robin between 8 or so IP addresses, and we find
If the list of IP addresses is virtually infinite, do you have any other suggestions for receiving the "GET" request through a firewall economically?

Heroku attaches a “x-forwarded-for” header to requests, and gives you an array of IP Addresses as the value. All you need to do is read this array by splitting the raw string at “,” and then find the last item in the array. This will be the real IP address of the client.
Heroku does not provide Static IP addresses in the Common Runtime Environment. In Heroku Private Spaces, which costs thousands of dollars a month, Static IP's are available, but they aren't load balanced, run on dedicated proxies, or highly customizable.
Because Heroku IPs are dynamic, it can be difficult to integrate Heroku applications with services that allowlist a fixed IP range, including certain APIs and services that operate behind a corporate firewall. Fixie acts as a proxy for outbound traffic, tunneling your requests through a known IP address.
No, Heroku will not give you even a range of IP addresses - they can, may and will move dynos between Amazon zones as needs require.
Your only option would be some sort of proxy node with a static IP that they talk to that securely communicates to your Heroku app - or consider if Heroku is the right fit for you here altogether.

Heroku runs on amazon ec2, so its official IP-ranges should contain all IP-address available to heroku.

You can route outbound traffic through quite expensive Proximo add-on to achieve that.
