We have a web server that is behind an apache server that uses mod_proxy in a reverse proxy configuration. There is a business requirement that the backend application see the actual client IP address, not the proxy IP. Is there a configuration setting to allow that?
The backend will always see the client IP address, which is passed to the backend in the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#x-headers
This only applies if the backend is using HTTP to talk to the proxy. If the backend is using some other protocol, let us know what it is.
