Hi, Haroon and Tom I think I found the problem but I have to wait for backend Oracle DB to make a change to test. But it seems nobody answers my question 2.

The X-Forwarded-For header *is* there and that's where the automatic part ends. Is your application looking for it? Looking for it in what way?

How about deploying a test servlet? or a jsp as follows: <%= request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For") %> On an aside, mod_remoteip does all of the address figuring out in apache land. AFAIK, it is only bundled with apache 2.3. I see that you are asking on another thread about how to include mod_remoteip in apache 2.2 land. Again, I can only tell you about my experiences. I use apache 2.2.x with mod_proxy in a reverse-proxy configruation. For my java app, I use xebia-france XForwardedFilter (which is a java port of mod_remoteip).
