This is a strange one for which I hope there's a simple answer & solution.
I've put a Front-side Proxy on a webserver (as it was struggling under the load
from lots of hits over slow links - more RAM than CPU issue), and it's helped
performance wonderfully!
However, my IP-based restrictions now seem to no longer work!
Before you ask, yes, I'm using mod_proxy_add_forward, with a
"PerlPostReadRequestHandler My::ProxyRemoteAddr" routine at the other end to
rewrite the IP back using $r->connection->remote_ip.
So, yes, as far as my CGIs, my modules, and the logging is concerned, people
are from their REAL IPs (rather than that of the FSP), but IP restrictions
(using the standard mod_access) are not taking effect at all!
Any ideas on why this is, and how to get around it? I've done some testing &
research, and AFAICS, it should work, as Post Read Requests happen before the
Access phase...
