Andre,
Sorry, but the loadbalancer.jar has the same problem. For example, the
access logs for the various orion servers only report the ip of the
loadbalancer...not very interesting.

I've run into the same problem. I don't think there is any way around this,
since the Apache module is a simple proxy.
It would be necessary to improve the Apache plugin to send some extra
headers, and then have orion interpret them.
However without an open API through which to construct the HTTP requests
coming into orion, you would have to interpret these headers in your own
code.
One possible avanue is Orion's load balancer. I haven't had a chance to
test it, but does it suffer from the same problem?
It may already have an API that allows it to pass through the original IP
address (and other info) to the actual server, which could be emulated by a
web server plugin.

OK,
In the meantime I found out what is wrong:
I am using apache as a proxy server, and therefore I do get the IP address
of the server.
How can I overcome this ?? Such that getRemoteAddr() does return the
client's IP address in my servlets.

Hellu there,
If I use getRemoteAddr() to get the IP address of the client the makes the
servlet requests it return the IP address of the server ?? (also
getRemoteHost() returns the server name).
Any idea how come ??
I am running jdk 1.3 and the servlets run on the application server Orion
1.5.1
(OS: Linux redhat 7.0)
(I can remember that a JSP on JSERv on apache didn't had this problem, so I
quess it's Orion .. not ??)
