Hello,

I have many web-projects, many of witch work only with Apache 1.3. Now
we have new projects and want to develelop them on Apache 2.
I have installed Apache2 as main web-server (on port 80) and Apache
1.3 as secondary (on port 8000).

I need some virtual hosts run on Apache 2, and some - on Apache 1.3.
I use mod_proxy under Apache 2 to forward requests for some virtual
hosts to Apache 1.3.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName      myproj.mydomain.com
    ServerAlias       myproj

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass         /  http://127.0.0.1:8000/

</VirtualHost>

All is OK. But I have only such problem:
When I see access_log of Apache 1.3 for my project, I see requests
from 127.0.0.1. I don't see realy Client-IP. It's bad for my
web-project promotion and visitors analysis.

This is the expected behaviour, this is because you are connecting to 

your 1.3 server via from your Apache2 instance.  All the log entries 

will be recorded in the AccessLog on your Apache2 server.

Is it possible to make tunneling from Apache 2 to Apache 1.3 for some
virtual hosts?

Tunneling? If you mean selective let some virtualhosts to your 1.3 

server on port 80, and at the same time some on your Apache instance, 

also on port 80. Then the answer is no.  Unless you add an additional IP 

address to the server, then make 1.3 listen to one IP address, and 

Apache2 on the other.
