Hi guys, I'm not sure if this one is possible, I'm attempting to use a mod_rewrite rule to proxy to another URL, but for the request it proxies to, I need it to keep the original source IP address intact. At present, I have something along the lines of: RewriteRule "^/$" http://server.com/startup/now?a=b [P,L,QSA] Now this works and does what is required, with the exception that the request to /startup/now?a=b has the source IP address of the apache server where the Rewrite rule exists. Is there any way that I can pass through the original source IP address in a fashion that it will be recognised as the remote address? I think we are checking this via the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable... Oh, and one more thing, just to make life a little more fun: we can't just use a 30x redirect. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
