NimbostratusiRule for REMOTE_ADDR
Hello
We are using the BigIP in an Auto_map SNAT configuration and in this case the REMOTE_ADDR of the client is replaced by the IP of the BigIP in the webserver logs.
I understand...

CirrostratusHi Anish,
I believe the REMOTE_ADDR field is parsed from the source address on the TCP packets. So if you need the BIG-IP to perform source address translation to ensure the symmetric routing, you will need to modify the application to parse the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR value instead.
