Hi All,

I am Kevin Fernandes. Working as a system admin. I have configured perlbal
as a reverse-proxy server for serving web request. However i have one
problem. The web-server (access.log) logs on the individual web-servers
shows the IP of the perlbal server and not the Client IP (REMOTE HOST IP)
that requested the URL. I have not found any documenation with regards to
the configuration. Any help on this is issue will be helpful. Awaiting your
feed back.

Regards,
Kevin Fernandes

You need to make your web-server read the X-Forwarded-For header and
get the "remote IP" from there.

For Apache 1.3.x and 2.0.x:

For Apache 2.2.x (I think this is the one I use for 2.2.x anyway):
