In ftp://ftp.lexa.ru/pub/apache-rus/contrib/ (where I have been told to download mod_accel/mod_deflate from before), I see another file called mod_realip-1.0.tar.gz just released one week ago. From looking at the keywords in the documentation, it looks like a module to be installed on the backend httpd that will parse these X-* headers to retrieve the original IP address. > By default only text/html is compressed. I think it's safe to compress text/plain by default, too; I've never seen any browser problems with compressed text/plain (only text/js and text/css).
