Re: [ic] Cluster / IP question


DB writes:
I'm looking into clustering for my IC stores. Once of the HA software packages that I'm considering has what may be a very serious drawback: all requests sent to the clustered servers lack the visitor's original IP address. Instead all requests come in using the IP of the box that runs the HA server. Since IC uses the visitors IP for the session ID among other things, it seems like this might be a bad idea. Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

Maybe you can have a look if there is any environment variable that is being passed on to the other machines in the cluster, which contains the user's IP (such as 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR') ... If you have another environment var that contains the IP address, you coul d probably get away with patching lib/Vend/Server.pm in the 'populate' sub ... CU,
