First condition is that the +remote client is actually a proxy that is defined in httpd.conf. +Secondly if there is an incoming X-Forwarded-For header and the proxy is +in it's list of known proxies it takes the last IP from the incoming +X-Forwarded-For header and changes the remote address of the client in +the request structure. It also takes the incoming X-Host header and +updates the virtualhost settings accordingly. For Apache2 mod_proxy it +takes the X-Forwared-Host header and updates the virtualhosts. |
