Show remote IP address when behind a proxy
If we want to show remote IP addresses when IHS is sitting behind a proxy server, populate HTTP_IV_REMOTE_ADDRESS with the client remote IP.
The module mod_remoteip can use this header's value rather than REMOTE_ADDR.
For example, if IHS is sitting behind Tivoli Access Manager (TAM), insert the following snippent into httpd.conf...
RemoteIPHeader HTTP_IV_REMOTE_ADDRESS
### IP of the TAM server
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 10.0.2.0/24
### Domain of the TAM server
RemoteIPTrustedProxy gateway.localdomain
