Hi All, Here's a suggestion to help out the problem with proxy accesses all coming from the same address? If the request included an Entity-Header, Really-From, then the proxy could pass this information on to the server which would be more meaningful than the proxy's own address. So: If "Really-From: machine.name" exists then "machine.name" is used in preference to "proxy.machine". Admittedly this allows unscrupulous individuals to spoof where they have come from so perhaps the header should be "Supposedly-From". What do you think?
