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
Give a try to mod proxy,combined with mod_rpaf and mod_extract_forwarded that allows the backend to "see" the forwarded host.
