marco_octavian_Enabling the x-forwarded-for in the http profile is only part of the equation. You also have to make changes on the server side for the server to insert the information in the logs accordingly. Google for "apached and x-forwarded-for" as an example.
Brad_Roan_12051I'm not sure about Apache, but I know that there's an ISAPI filter you have to install/config in IIS to get the forwarded-for IP to appear in the logs.
