Re: [users@httpd] Access_log shows incorrect remote host address

Greg,

When you access your webserver, are you using an external IP address? 
If so, It's going to log your hit as coming from your router no matter
where it's coming from on the lan because your outgoing request is
going through the router.  If you access it via an internal IP address
(perhaps that's how you're doing it with the other applications), then
your request doesn't go through the router, and your internal address
will be preserved.

Let me know if that makes any sense or if it's inaccurate...

I am running webalizer and I noticed that a couple of days ago all httpd logs are reporting the same IP address for the requesting host, the address of my router.  Logs from other applications (FTP, Sendmail) all report the correct address of remote host. If I telnet to port 80 from another server on the LAN, the httpd logs show the address of the server.  I searched the FAQ and the archives but didn't find anything like this.  Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
