Hi Blair thanks for that I hadn't seen that X-Forwarded-For header before and that could do the job, though i'm not sure how the request will look at the other end in terms of source IP. Only one way to find out I guess! I was thinking of setting up a proxy and using multiple instances of Tomcat on the same server to setup 10 separate webserver instances each with it's own IP, and then route requests through these though I'd prefer the HTTP header route if that works.
Steve the IPs are going through multiple firewalls at the hosting provider before reaching the actual server where the IPs are mapped and then bound to the NIC.
