(re)Setting remote_addr

If you're wanting to modify how Apache logs HTTP headers, I think you can use the LogFormat directive in your httpd.conf. SOL4816 (Click here) has an example:

 

 

 

Apache web server

 

 

You can configure an Apache web server to extract the IP address from the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header and log the IP address to the web server log file by adding the appropriate logging directives to the Apache httpd.conf file. For example:

 

 

LogFormat "%v %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" X-Forwarded-For

 

CustomLog /var/log/apache/www.example.com-xforwarded.log X-Forwarded-For

 

 

Refer to the Apache logging documentation for more details.

 

 

 

 

You can probably find more examples by googling 'Apache LogFormat Directive'.
