The weird thing I dont see X-Forwarded-For HTTP-Header anywhere in Z2.log ,
i see something like this:
111.222.333.444 - bashar [19/Feb/2012:20:24:19 +0300] "GET /html/admin
HTTP/1.1" 200 5636 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.1)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.1"

I remember X-Forwarded requests in Nginx sits at the end of the log entries
but not the case in this log, would it be I'm using a very old pound and
didn't have this feature? pound -V shows 2.1.3

Thanks,
