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

If you access the server through your router's WAN address
and have port forwarding turned on, the access_log will
always reflect the router's LAN address.

The request is coming from the outside, I agree with your "really weird"
assessment.  The network topology is as follows:

----------DSL "MODEM" --------------->SMC Router ------>Switch --> 

Webserver

  Public
IP--192.168.2.x-----192.168.2.y--192.168.1.x------------192.168.1.y

The address being logged is 192.168.2.y  The SMC is an SMC7004ABR.  I'm
beginning to think the router is misbehaving, but I don't think it has the

capability to terminate and initiate a new session. I've never seen any 

kind

of proxy function in it.
