Hi,

Access to our zendto installation is behind an F5 load-balancing proxy.  The affect of this is that the IP addresses of client access all look to come from  the IP address associated with the proxy rather than the actual  IP address of the client machines.    The proxy address is what  is captured in the zendto database and is included in  the reports which zendto sends out.   For security it would be useful to see the  client IP addresses.   The Apache server can be configured to log this  as  an  x-forwarded-for address

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For

is there any way that zendto  con be configured to use either x-forwarded-for or a similar mechanism  to log and report the real IP address of the client?
