<p class="MsoNormal">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<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
