Hi Joshua and all, thank you.if the request passes through a chain of proxies what does it happen to such variabile ? In order to leave intact the application on the backup server, could we use a setenv mechanism on the backend server, in order to rewrite the remote_addr variable with the x_forwarded_for variable ?
