[users@httpd] Fowarding Client's IP

[Saunders Jack <ja...@volvo.com>]

Is there a way to have an Apache 2 reverse proxy forward the requesting
browser ip address to the backend server instead of advertising only the
proxy's ip?
 
This is required for some ip security code they have written on the
backend.
 
Thanks

Apache includes this information automatically in the X-Forwarded-For
HTTP request header.
