Q about ProxyRemoteAddr

[jjunkin]

Hi! I am having difficulty setting cookies once we changed our production modperl system. We changed from a single machine front-end/backend setup two a two machine setup Both use apache 2.x for the front server on ports 80 and 443, and modperl 1.3.x server running on ports 8001,8000.   The problem is only occurring on the 2 machine setup with server 1 running apache 2.x using proxypass and modrewrite to proxy back to server 2.   The problem is: after the server is restarted, cookies are set just fine. But, after each of the new child processes have been used, cookies are no longer set. The Perl application continues to see the client's existing cookie, but new cookies are not set.   Here are some questions: 1) If I am using Apache 2.x, do I still need to compile in mod_proxy_add_forward  to the apache server? I was somehow under the impression that this exists under apache2.x.   2) In the lines of the example preload.pl script it shows    unless ($r->connection->remote_ip eq "127.0.0.1") and $r->header_in('X-Forwarded-For');   I assume that this setup (127.0.0.1) is for when both versions of apache are run on the same machine?   If I have a 2 machine setup with server1_ip_addr and server2_ip_addr then I should have:    unless ($r->connection->remote_ip eq "server1_ip_addr") and $r->header_in('X-Forwarded-For');   Is this correct? The docs don't make this clear.   Sorry for so many questions. I have searched the mailing list and cannot find the answers to these questions.   Thanks,   Joe Junkin
