Floor, That does make sense, and I am accessing the website from my external address. Apache has been logging the remote host address and not the router address for several years and now all of a sudden, it doesn't. What's interesting is that the address of the router that is being logged is a private address in a different subnet from the private address of the web server. Is there any function/feature within Apache that causes it to log the "previous hop" address and not the remote host? The router is not doing any proxying, only NAT. When things like this change for no apparent reason, I get concerned.

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... --Floor On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 15:49:30 -0700, greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm running Apache 2.0.52 on Fedora Core 3. 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. > > Thanks, > Greg > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > " from the digest: users-digest-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
