Apache mod_status "server-status" not showing Client IP
I am having the same issue. Use the F5 to proxy (and soon load balance) for a server. When I goto the /server-status page client IP shows the F5 LTM. Now to the comment about making an exception, you are probably not seeing the question correctly. /server-status shows all the client IPs of all the connections from around the world (around 50-100 reqs/min for me on a slow time) all coming from F5. Now I incorporated the remoteip module on apache and setting the F5 IP as a proxy and the X-Forwaded-For in the configuration, my /var/log/vhost_access.log is now showing the correct IP without having to use the %{X-Forwarded-For}i LogFormat. So that is all working, however for some reason the /server-status continues to show the IP address of the F5. Interesting though, every once in a while it is showing 1 or 2 IPs that are the real client IPs, but in general the reported IP is still F5.

Hi Dave... My first reaction would be to ask if you'd seen my comment from 2011. Even on high volume sites, a large percentage of traffic is the health checks from your BigIP's.
What's the reported URI on those clients? And as you really are using SNAT, have you checked that it's not an issue with the mod_status module and remoteip?
