Hi, Is there any directive that can be set to have Apache as a reverse proxy report REMOTE_HOST and REMOTE_ADDR properly? (instead of those variables being set to the proxy server?)
(Third time we've seen this question in the past week or so.) Apache sends the X-Forwarded-For header on the request to the origin server. If you are asking if it is possible for apache to set the actual IP address that is seen by the origin server, then the answer is no, this is not even theoretically possible. The origin server gets this information from the TCP/IP connection information, not from anything sent by the proxy.
