[Zope] remote address

[Fritz Mesedilla]

Greetings Bill!

Is it possible to use ProxyVia with mod_rewrite since we use rewrite to hide
the port number and folder of the zope websites?

Thanks.

I don't think the patch is needed anymore. I have a proxy_pass server
setup, and use the "ProxyVia Full" directive. Not only can I use
<dtml-var REMOTE_ADDR>, but the original IP also shows up in the Z2.log
file. Apache version is 1.3.19-5 (Included in RH 7.1).
