Re: Apache reverse proxy configuration and ip addresses

What directives are you using for logging?

Have you looked into the docs to see where that IP is coming from? Or how
to forward different IP addresses (true client vs proxy) from the proxy?

As I stated in the original message, 10.2.0.109 is one of the IP addresses
assigned to System 1 (IBMi). I know the ip address for my PC is something
different. I'm just surprised that when System 1, Apache server 1 forwards
the request to the Apache server on System 2 that the client IP address in
the access log file shows 10.2.0.109 instead of 10.2.0.31 since I specified
10.2.0.31 port 10200 when calling the web service on System 1. I wonder
how System 1 decides which ip address it uses to forward the request?

Maybe 10.2.0.109 the address of your PC on the network, that get's picked
up in the log as the originator of the requests.

Hi,

We have two Apache servers on our IBM I that is in the DMZ. They are
setup to listen on different ip addresses and different ports. These
servers are for web services.

System 1 - IBMi in DMZ
Apache Server 1 listens on IP Address 10.2.0.31 port 10200
Apache Server 2 listens on IP Address 10.2.0.109 port 10000

I'm adding a reverse proxy setup to Server 1 so that it forwards

requests

back to another Apache server on an IBM I (System 2) in our trusted
network. When I test this setup, the Apache access log on System 2

shows

the client ip address as 10.2.0.109. I was expecting it to be

10.2.0.31.

Anyone know why that is?
