Thanks for the info. I have gone through customlog and i understand that it is used to log the IP and other parameters, But I want to compare the IP address of incoming requests with IP address present in a pre-built data structure. After comparing, the request will be served accordingly. Therefore, I need the source code file of apache which accepts requests and through which I can get the IP at the initial stage.
It would be really helpful if you could provide me this info.
