One problem with this is that most of the internet service providers will block IP packets that have a source address not in the originating network to limit DOS attacks and other security related problems. As a consequence, this will only work if the spoofed address is in the same LAN with the proxy, but it will almost certainly fail if your load balancer is in another location. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://openser.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
