I've install apache as a reverse proxy server and was wondering if there was a way to preserve the site visitor's ip and pass it along to the back-end servers so they can log it. Once I put the reverse proxy server in front of our web apps, the web apps started to only log requested from the reverse proxy server's ip address. I tried the ProxyPreserveHost directive and thought that would accomplish this. However, when I added this directive in each of my vhost configs, they stopped working (wouldn't pull any pages up). Any ideas on how to configure this? Or is there another directive I should be looking at?
ProxyPreserveHost is for the Host HTTP request header. It has nothing to do with the remote (client) IP address. For that, your app can look at the contents of the X-Forwarded-For request header, which the proxy automatically adds with the source IP.
