Re: [Pound Mailing List] Logging IP addresses in apache logs

Hi,

The advantage with mod_extract_forwarded is that it changes the 
remote address as seen (and logged) by Apache, but also by CGI & 
mod_perl programs (and probably PHP and any other modules). Likewise, 
any IP address filtering in Apache will also use the "right" IP 
address rather than the one of the proxy.
