SUMMARY: Apache/Oracle question

Hi

Thanks to Yura Pismerov who point me to the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"
header of squid.

[Gracies tambi Agustin i Roger ;-)]

It can be done with apaches. I've find to available modules that solves
my problem.

mod_proxy_add_forward for the "front-end" apache. It adds the
"HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR <client ip address>" to the request. Use
with normal mod_proxy operation (ProxyPass / ProxyPassReverse ...)

mod_extract_forwarded for the "back-end" apache (ias). It extracts
the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR variable and puts it in the $REMOTE_ADDRESS.
Need directives. "AddForwarderFor all" or the like.

Modules compiles and installs fine with apxs. (Need mod_so built in
apache)

So, the ias's logs (in a private ip) records the client ips, not
the apache-proxy one, and can be inserted in oracle tables.
