Re: X_FORWARDED_FOR

Hi Dan,

We had nearly the exast same problem.
The solution I came up with was to edit http.c, find the part which says
"X-Forwarded.." change the word "unknown" to a dns-name/ip-adress you want
to show, then recompile.

Don't forget to edit squid.conf and set "forwarded_for" to "off".

Good Luck!
