+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>This module is used to treat the useragent which initiated the
+ request as the originating useragent as identified by httpd for the
+ purposes of authorization and logging, even where that useragent is
+ behind a load balancer, front end server, or proxy server.</p>
+
+ <p>The module overrides the client IP address for the connection
+ with the useragent IP address reported in the request header configured
+ with the <code class="directive"><a href="#remoteipheader">RemoteIPHeader</a></code> directive.</p>
+
+ <p>Additionally, this module implements the server side of
+ HAProxy's
+ <a href="http://blog.haproxy.com/haproxy/proxy-protocol/">PROXY Protocol</a> when
+ using the <code class="directive"><a href="#remoteipproxyprotocol">RemoteIPProxyProtocol</a></code>
+ directive.</p>
+
+ <p>Once replaced as instructed, this overridden useragent IP address is
+ then used for the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_host.html">mod_authz_host</a></code>
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authz_core.html#require">Require ip</a></code>
+ feature, is reported by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>, and is recorded by
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a></code> <code>%a</code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code>
+ <code>%a</code> format strings. The underlying client IP of the connection
+ is available in the <code>%{c}a</code> format string.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning">It is critical to only enable this behavior from
+ intermediate hosts (proxies, etc) which are trusted by this server, since
+ it is trivial for the remote useragent to impersonate another
+ useragent.</div>

+<h2><a name="processing" id="processing">Remote IP Processing</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Apache by default identifies the useragent with the connection's
+ client_ip value, and the connection remote_host and remote_logname are
+ derived from this value. These fields play a role in authentication,
+ authorization and logging and other purposes by other loadable
+ modules.</p>
+
+ <p>mod_remoteip overrides the client IP of the connection with the
+ advertised useragent IP as provided by a proxy or load balancer, for
+ the duration of the request. A load balancer might establish a long
+ lived keepalive connection with the server, and each request will
+ have the correct useragent IP, even though the underlying client IP
+ address of the load balancer remains unchanged.</p>
+
+ <p>When multiple, comma delimited useragent IP addresses are listed in the
+ header value, they are processed in Right-to-Left order. Processing
+ halts when a given useragent IP address is not trusted to present the
+ preceding IP address. The header field is updated to this remaining
+ list of unconfirmed IP addresses, or if all IP addresses were trusted,
+ this header is removed from the request altogether.</p>
+
+ <p>In overriding the client IP, the module stores the list of intermediate
+ hosts in a remoteip-proxy-ip-list note, which <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_log_config.html">mod_log_config</a></code>
+ can record using the <code>%{remoteip-proxy-ip-list}n</code> format token.
+ If the administrator needs to store this as an additional header, this
+ same value can also be recording as a header using the directive
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#remoteipproxiesheader">RemoteIPProxiesHeader</a></code>.</p>
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>IPv4-over-IPv6 Mapped Addresses</h3>
+ As with httpd in general, any IPv4-over-IPv6 mapped addresses are recorded
+ in their IPv4 representation.</div>
+

+ All internal addresses 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16, 169.254/16 and 127/8
+ blocks (and IPv6 addresses outside of the public 2000::/3 block) are only
+ evaluated by mod_remoteip when <code class="directive"><a href="#remoteipinternalproxy">RemoteIPInternalProxy</a></code>
+ internal (intranet) proxies are registered.</div>
