I have tested the following line, and it works :

SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "209\.132\.98\.35" dontlog

But I don't want to refuse logging of everything that is coming from
that host, just the proxy requests.

I have looked and verified that "PROXY_ADDR" is set when a proxy request
is coming in, but for some reason the SetEnvIf is not working based on
that header...
    

Are you saying that PROXY_ADDR is an HTTP request header coming from the proxy?

I doubt that.  Underscores are not often seen in HTTP request headers.
 (But note that dashes are converted to underscores when a header is
converted to an env variable in mod_cgi, which may be confusing you. )
Perhaps the header is Proxy-Addr.

Joshua,

actually, PROXY_ADDR is an environment variable that is created by mod_extract_forwarded...

But, HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is a header that is sent with the request from the proxy machine to the destination. I have also tried to use this variable, but to no avail...

On your recommendation I tried HTTP-X-FORWARDED-FOR, but that doesn't work either.

If what you said is true (that the headers have dashes instead of underscores, then how is it that SetEnvIf works using Remote_Addr ???

Ultimately, the question becomes, how do I not log a proxy request ?

Thanks,

Tim.
