Hi Colin,
Thanks for replying. I am not currently using any SNATs. I did create the F5 iRULE that you recommended and enabled it for that particular VIP. No change. I am still seeing the F5 load balancer VIP ip address as the client ip source in http://[hostname]/server-status. So I disabled it.
As for mod_status, I don't think there is a way to change the module to look for a different HTTP header.
Although I don't know if I'm allowed to mention another LB device, but the Netscaler incorporates an Apache module 'mod_custom_header' which is loaded into the Apache webserver to deal with this exact situation I'm trying to resolve.
I'm wondering if someone else can reproduce this result? Or have any other suggestion?
I've been a lurker for the most part, because this forum has been so useful in answering all of my questions, until I had to post my own problem that hasn't been resolved.
Thanks for your help guys.
Best,
Che
