The rule will first check if the destination IP adres isn’t known in the akamai-secure-prod-net an akamai-secure-stage-net. If this is true, it will check if the True-Client-IP HTTP header is set and if set it will remove it. Then it will add the True-Client-IP HTTP header with the source address of the client, but strip off the route domain.
