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

Give a try to mod proxy,combined with mod_rpaf and mod_extract_forwarded
that allows the backend to "see" the forwarded host.
