Just to throw a spanner in the works, it is considered a security (actually privacy) violation to use X-Forwarded-For as you're telling the end server the client's internal IP address. That is one of the reasons we went with installing snort *on* our proxies - which is a variant of the "in front of" argument. Just say yes to more NIDS ;-) Jason -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
