I'm using apache 1.3.xx...I know it is way too old...
My situation is as follows :
Client <-----> Apache <------------> Apache

I have got access to CGI env vars on the Backend apache in my
application. I
would like to get the client IP there.
I have tried this :
SetEnv REMOTE_IDENT %{X-Forwarded-For}i
and tried to access REMOTE_IDENT in my application...But i get
%{X-Forwarded-For}i and not the value ...
SetEnv can't do that. SetEnvIf might be able to (with a suitable
change in syntax -- see the docs), or you could use mod_rewrite. But
why are you bothering? Your application should be able to directly
access X-Forwarded-For.
(Also, careful using X-Forwarded-For because it could contain more
than one IP address in the case of a chain of proxies.)

I did try to use X-Forwarded-For directly. But I did not get any value
there.

I finally managed to get the client IP. I had to use
mod_proxy_add_forward.c and
mod_rpaf ....
X-Forwarded-For header was not getting set. So I had to use
mod_proxy_add_forward.c .
Once that header got set, my app was not able to use it directly. As I had
written earlier,
my app can see only CGI vars...So then had to use mod_rpaf to move
X-Forwarded-For into Remote IP.
