thanks for the suggestion. but to be more precise. i am interested in
the backend server seeing any request as coming from anything but localhost.
the backend could theoretically be serving just a gif image so a request
from the backend's point of view should somehow look like this in its
access log:
real-client-ip - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969
unique.host.com - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969
instead of:
127.0.0.1 - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969
localhost - - [22/May/2004:11:06:36] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 5969
thanks again

Maybe try this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
http://unique.host.com:8000/$1?ip=%{REMOTE_ADDR} [P]
or
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
http://unique.host.com:8000/index.php?request=$1&ip=%{REMOTE_ADDR} [P]
with a rewrite rule on the receiving server to bring it back to the
original request.
You probably want something like mod_perl or php to handle this most
effectively
(i.e. for doing something with the IP addy, etc. )

hello,
we have on the same machine an apache2 in front (80) of a backend web
server (8000) in a reverse proxy set up. the backend sees the proxied
requests from the apache as coming from localhost.
we are in a situation were we need the backend to see the request coming
from anything but localhost.
one approach might be to establish a unique host header on the backend,
so the apache would forward requests like:
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://unique.host.com:8000/$1 [p,l]
instead of
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8000/$1 [p,l]
i just wander if there are an easier / or even another solution to this?
perhaps forwarding the original client ip somehow.
thanks
