Hi, Haroon I see that also but I don't know how to use them. I put the statement into my vhost of Apache reverse proxy and the apache complaining they are wrong statement, etc.
<virtualhost> ... Proxyrequst off ..... X-Forwarded-For .... </virtualhost> Is above the correct way to use it? I am not much care about the remote IP being logged in the Apache log but I am care about the remote client IP being forwarded to the backend server since our backend server will decide what to do based on the remote client IP. Thanks.

This is http request. RJ> Hi Ruiyan, See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#x-headers you are interested in the X-Forwarde-For header. Once you get it to your backend server, then you will need to figure out how to get the information from that header into your logs (or whereever else). You may need to take extra care as multiple proxies can be in the path, so only trust this information if coming straight from your own reverse proxy.
