We're actually phasing this hack out in favour of a Virtual Host Monster which seems like a much cleaner solution...

Sorry, Chris, VHM is irrelevent to this problem. If you want to know the original remote IP, you have two choices:

1. Use one of the Apache patches that have been posted.

2. Mangle it into URLs and extract it with an AccessRule.

Neither one of these is really satisfactory at the moment, since medusa doesn't know either solution, and so z2.log doesn't get the proper IP addresses. I'm hoping that one of these days we can standardize on #1 and provide support in medusa.

I don't get why it is necessary at all to use medusa's logging when using apache or squid etc. as a proxy. I for instance use apache to also serve content which isn't contained in the ZODB (large files etc.), and I want the logs/statistics to also contain information about these. Btw. with a small module it's even possible to log the usernames with apache, something medusa isn't capabable of afaik (as of zope version < 2.3). cheers, oliver
