[users@httpd] How to log the actual IP address of the machine accessing the website
Hi
Is it possible to grab the actuall IP address of the machine accessing the
websie ( not of the hub etc ), an IP address is always logged in the
access.log file but its not the actual IP address of the machine, I am using
apache 1.xx.
Thanks for your help in advance
Mike

Well, I have a sense of humor, and that's not funny.

In addition, any proxy servers will also mask the original IP. Only the
last proxy/gateway is known to your server.

No, if the machine accessing the site is behind some kind of NAT
gateway, it will not be possible to log the IP of the originating
machine, as it's not sent in any way with the request.
