RE: [users@httpd] HOST ADDRESS of a client host behind transparent proxy?

[x79z1130 <x7...@cxbd.com>]

Yeah, you got my question perfectly.

And I also know and checked it that I do not find the REMOTE_ADDR of the
visitor.

But I thought if there is anything beyond my knowledge. BTW, can I force
to identify or how do I know that it's behind a proxy/transparent proxy?


Anyway, thank you for your reply. Specially for your explanation of the
issue.
