Huh, I was wondring what Bill was talking about ... I couldn't remember any discussion that had reversed the meaning, and now I know why. The IP address received by the server interface when we are acting as a reverse proxy is not necessarily the IP address of the user agent. It could just as easily be the IP address of an ISP proxy, a corporate firewall, or a dozen other client-side intermediaries that are not the user agent. Hence, it is just a client. I can hear Graham screaming now. No worries -- I don't care what the variable is called in request_rec as long as the intent is clear enough, so feel free to leave it as is. ....Roy
