The Linux cttproxy patch allows proxies to be "fully transparent"
masquerading using the original clients source address on the
connections to the backend.
Has some concerns at the TCP/IP layer and a lot of restrictions on how
it can be deployed, but eases deployment in some cases as the origin
server logs is not so disturbed..
Yeah, sorry. Should have been a bit more verbose there ;)
I need client IP on the backend to deal with auth and logging. I
cannot always control the backend server or config, so not always
possible to work around it.
