Server Iron Web Browser Query.

Post #1 of 3 (1038 views)

Hello.

We have 2 Server Irons sitting in front of customer web servers and
behind the firewall.
The server Iron is natting the the incoming IP so all requests to
the Web Server appear to come from the Server Iron.

The customer is looking for a profile of incoming IPs.
Is there any easy way of tracking incoming IPs to the customer Web
Site.

thank you

Not unless you can disable the source NAT, which in my experience
depends on your network topology.

Sounds to me like a job for direct server return.

Although, in a complicated setup you could log incomnig hits from the
serveriron and then have it export to syslog, then parse the syslog for the
incoming IP list.
