Web Application Firewall (reverse proxy) - pass client ip to server

Right now the WAF is showing as the source ip address in the log files of my servers. I'd like to see the public ip address of the clients that are accessing the servers.

I've enabled "pass host header" but that doesn't seem to do it.

Is this possible to do?

"pass host header" does exactly what it says. It passes the "Host:" header to the backend (real) webserver instead of rewriting it.

The header you are looking for ist "X-Forwarded-For:". Can be logged in both Apache and IIS.
