I've got a set of identical webservers, all Apache 2.2.6, with configurations such that authorized IP addresses are allowed access to locations handled by the server-info and server-status handlers.

These work fine when visiting the individual servers.

Now I put a load balancer in front of them all, and incorporate the mod_remoteip module into them to accept the load balancer inserted X-Forwarded-For header as the actual requesting IP address.

Users from acceptable IP addresses coming in through the load balancer get either a 404, a 403 or a blank page (and the error log shows an aborting child process in that case).

If there's a basic incompatibility between these handlers and mod_remoteip, like for example, maybe they do their thing BEFORE mod_remoteip appears in the processing stack, I'll accept that. After all, the main reason I want to do it from the load balancer is to just see which server is being handed any arbitrary request; it's a trivial thing.

But if it SHOULD be working I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong.
