The most common use for TCP mode is balancing SSL traffic, where having the IP would do you no good, since you can't insert it into the stream. The patch that you're thinking of is for stunnel[1], to add an x-forwarded-for header. You could also use stud[2], which can add a header, or use the proxy-protocol. 1. http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/patches/ 2. https://github.com/bumptech/stud I've also used nginx with great success as an ssl wrapper, which can give you some added functionality as well. -jim
