-------------------------------------------------

This issue can be resolved using existing synapse language API as follows 

<property name="REMOTE_HOST" scope="axis2" value="get-property('transport','X-Forwarded-For')"/>

The mediator you have provided, on the http://esbsite.org/resources.jsp?path=/mediators/ziller/ReverseProxy ,can be used for too.

Adding custom code to deal with custom headers may not be needed if there are possible ways of doing those through synapse language API (Example : property , header mediators).

> i use the throttle mediator in order restrict the use of a proxy to a particular ip address.
> all was working fine until i've put an apache reverse proxy in front of synapse.
> in this case, the ip address logged by Synapse is always the one of the reverse proxy.
> in fact, the real ip address of the caller is in the "X-Forwarded-For" http header (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html)
> Synapse seems not to take care of this http header... 
> thanks
