redis cluster K8S connection
I belive in all scenarios you just need to expose the service using kubernetes Service object of type:
Cluster IP ( in case you are consuming it inside the cluster )
NodePort ( for external access )
LoadBalancer ( in case of public access and if you are on cloud provider)
NodePort with external loadbalancer ( for public external access if you are on local infrastructure )
Dont need to worry about individual pods. The Service will take care of them.

I don't think you need any port redirection. You have to build an ingress controller upon your cluster though, i.e. nginx ingress controller
Then you just set up a single ingress service with exposed access, which will serve a cluster traffic.
Here is an example of Ingress Controller to Access cluster service:
