Thanks to both of you for pointing me in the right direction. I guess
it's obvious, really, that environment variables don't get passed along
proxies. Blast. =o)
I've implemented a variation on your hack, and I'm very happy with it.
It also inspired me to get a further variation going as a method of
getting the original remote host without the trouble of installing
mod_proxy_add_forward. In the vanilla Apache:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$
http://domain:port/%{REMOTE_HOST}/$1 [P,L]
...and in the mod_perl one:
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/(.*)$
/$2 [E=ORIGINAL_REMOTE_HOST:$1,L]
Probably best to combine this with
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
To avoid *really* trivial IP spoofing!
Many thanks again,
Andrew.
