Hi,

No so sure about that. Let's assume the client address is 1.1.1.1. Two possible 
scenarios:

- The client request reaches the ALB without XFF. The ALB will inject XFF with 
value 1.1.1.1. Then Varnish will modify XFF adding the ALB's address (i.e., 
1.1.1.1,<ALB IP>). Using the next-to-last IP you're using the right client 
address.

- The client request reaches the ALB with a forged XFF (e.g. 127.0.0.1). The 
ALB will will modify XFF (i.e. 127.0.0.1,1.1.1.1). The Varnish will do the same 
(i.e. 127.0.0.1,1.1.1.1,<ALB IP>). Using the next-to-last IP you're still using 
the right client address.

I've not checked using a ALB, but that should be the expected behaviour for me.

Best,
