Is it? From the javadoc for javax.servlet.ServletRequest:
"Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client or last proxy
that sent the request. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI
variable REMOTE_ADDR."
I would think that if
!request.getRemoteAddr().equals(request.getHeader("REMOTE_ADDR")) then
something has gone wrong.
Perhaps a load-balancer doesn't count as a proxy under this definition?
