That's what I'm seeing. Thanks! (The last piece was changing %h -> %a
in my log formats. I can't seem to find any ErrorLogFormat defined in
my configuration, and there is no documentation for the "default"
format so I can't really verify that I have an acceptable
ErrorLogFormat. I'm having trouble getting an error bad enough to log
:) In httpd 2.2, a 404 counted as an error and so it's easy to test to
see what IP address gets logged.

Yup. I have done the best I think I can for httpd 2.2, like this:
# Handle ELB requests; maintain client information
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-Proto "https" HTTPS=On
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For "(.*)" REMOTE_ADDR=$1 JK_REMOTE_ADDR=$1
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-Port "(.*)" JK_LOCAL_PORT=$1
# Only allow requests directly from the load-balancer
<Location "/">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
</Location>
# The following line has been split over multiple lines.
# httpd doesn't support this; it's for email readability only
SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-For \
"^.*?(\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+\.\d{1,3}+)" \
XFFCLIENTIP=$1
LogFormat "... %{XFFCLIENTIP}e ..." format-name
CustomLog access_log format-name
This will right me the right-most IP address from X-Forwarded-For
which, in my case, ought to be the client's actual IP address or some
outside proxy. I haven't yet played-around with setting that header
from my client to see what happens at the ELB stage. I suspect they
will adhere to the spec and /add/ the client's IP to whatever was
there. If they don't, it's okay with me: I'll end up observing the
same IP address I would have in the past because I've been ignoring
any X-Forwarded-For headers thus far.
Thanks for the help,
