Sure, and thanks for the quick response. I will try to be more clear.

 

 

The problem is that I don't just need the origination IP to show up in the log, but to actually be interacting with IIS.

 

 

Our web app makes decisons on what pages to serve based on the ip address of the machine accessing it.

 

 

I currently have a Cisco CSS in front of the web servers, and it has been serving this function for a few years now. i would just like to consolidate down to one device.

 

 

With the Cisco, in the W3 log, I see the clients actual IP address, as well as all requests coming from the client.

 

 

With the F5, I see the clients IP address in the log, but all IIS requests are coming from the F5's IP address.

 

 

Please let me know if this is more clear, or simply more confusing.

 

 

Thanks again for the help
