Dear Pound users,

I need some guidance to get Apache-2 behind Pound work again with 
IP-based restricted access. I have a 'local' directory in my 
/var/www/html tree. The local directory has a .htaccess file defining 
which IP-numbers are allowed to have access. This worked fine as long as 
Apache was handling the original requests. Now Pound is in front, all 
requests come from the system that runs pound (either localhost or an 
external load balancer system).

In the Pound README reference is made to the X-forward-for parameter 
that get transferred to the backend server.

Is there someone, who can inform me on how to configure Apache-2 to make 
use of this parameter for the conventional .htaccess method?

Question 2: Is there a searchable archive of the Pound mailing list? I 
could not find any thus far.


Cheers,
Bas

I think you wanna try out mod_rpaf (reverse proxy add forward module for 
Apache) from http://stderr.net/apache/rpaf/. It
let's you configure a list of 
frontend servers (aka [reverse] proxies) and will mangle request from those 
by parsing the request header and setting the remote client ip from 
X-Forwarded-For etc.

there's mod_extract_forwarded too (I had bad experiences with mod_rapf
on apache 1.3). You can find an apache 2.0.x port here:
