I tried to log all request headers and notice three interesting headers:

x-forwarded-for : 10.0.0.24
x-forwarded-host : myRealDomain.com
x-forwarded-server : my.server.ip.address

So, tomcat(or someone else) does some forwarding and attach those headers on
request?

If so where and how it is configured?
