Hi Joshua and all,
thank you.
if the request passes through a chain of proxies what does it happen to
such variabile ?
In order to leave intact the application on the backup server, could we use
a setenv mechanism on the backend server, in order to rewrite the
remote_addr variable with the x_forwarded_for variable ?
