but there is no resolving, the problem is simply
that the proxy is in the internal LAN, 100% trustable
and from the view of the backendserver it must not
appear in any way

even if there is resolving: as long the proxy and the
backend httpd have the same DNS view -> no problem

but how to handle if you have a global defined log-format
and you have some hundret vhosts where some depending on
the typical load are pointing directly to the server and
high-traffic sites pointing to the trafficserver?

having the LAN-IP of the proxy anywhere is wrong and makes from
the view of customers usage of apache trafficserver impossible
and having on several places different client-ip's is bad

the trafficserver is a 100% trusted machine
any X-Forwarded-For is trusted
any connection from this machine contains X-Forwarded-For
the machine with trafficserver has only one service

"mod_rpaf" until 2.4 did handle this perfectly

as i played last summer with trafficserver this was the point to
consider it as useable because no impact on logging / security by
have LAN-IP's inside PHP-scripts which may behave different in such
cases and last but not least not touch any vhost-config

* any logfile contained the X-Forwarded-For
* any variable in PHP contained X-Forwarded-For
* mod_security saw the X-Forwarded-For
* X-Forwarded-For only from hard defined addresses, the trusted proxy
* no different configuration for hosts with proxy in front or directly called
