the backend could theoretically be serving just a gif image so a request from the backend's point of view should somehow look like this in its access log:
real-client-ip - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969 unique.host.com - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969 instead of: 127.0.0.1 - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969 localhost - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969 thanks again ./a Boysenberry Payne wrote:
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(i.e. for doing something with the IP addy, etc. ) Boysenberry boysenberrys.com | habitatlife.com | selfgnosis.com On Jan 30, 2006, at 1:12 PM, allan juul wrote: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 coming from 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.
