[users@httpd] NAT and access_log

[il...@riu.es]

Hello,

we've configured a web server behind a Firewall doing NAT, but, as we
expected, the access log only shows the firewall's IP for any request. Is
there any configuration to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance !

Ignacio Lacosta.

That sounds very strange.  If it is a NAT firewall, the only thing it 
should change when incoming packets traverse it is the destination 
address.  The connection should still have the correct source address. 
If it changed the source address, I do not think the setup would work at 
all.

Anyway, Apache is just reporting what it sees, so it's probably an issue 
with your firewall.
