So I tried this mod_rewrite rule: I already explained to you that you can't do this: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-users/200506.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there some part of that you didn't understand? > > RewriteEngine On > RewriteRule ^(.*) [env=REMOTE_ADDR:%{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR}] This is broken because it is trying to rewrite to the URL "[env...". You need a dash after the patter to indicate that no rewriting will occur. But as I've already told you, it won't work anyway.
