reverse proxy add forward
rpaf changes the remote address of the client on incoming proxy requests. It is used in backend servers that needs to know the IP of the client, and works in conjunction with mod_proxy_add_forward (which sets the X-Forwarded-For header). When an X-Host header exists rpaf will take the hostname found here, put it into Apache, and update the virtualhost settings so that you can serve virtualhosts on the backend. It includes modules for both Apache 1.3 and 2.0.
