Maybe try this:RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://unique.host.com:8000/$1?ip=%{REMOTE_ADDR} [P]
orRewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://unique.host.com:8000/index.php?request=$1&ip=%{REMOTE_ADDR} [P]
with a rewrite rule on the receiving server to bring it back to the original request.
You probably want something like mod_perl or php to handle this most effectively

hello, we have on the same machine an apache2 in front (80) of a backend web server (8000) in a reverse proxy set up. the backend sees the proxied requests from the apache as coming from localhost.we are in a situation were we need the backend to see the request comingfrom anything but localhost. one approach might be to establish a unique host header on the backend, so the apache would forward requests like: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://unique.host.com:8000/$1 [p,l] instead of RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8000/$1 [p,l]i just wander if there are an easier / or even another solution to this?perhaps forwarding the original client ip somehow. thanks ./a ---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
