Re: log the original source ipaddress

i'm not familiar with rinetd, but if you use netfilter to do dnat the source address will be maintained. just make sure internal boxes hit the webserver directly, on the internal ip, rather than through the external one so they don't get confused by packets coming back directly from the web server
