Something like "X-Orig-From"-Header for proxy

Description

It would be great if there was some option like proxy.x-orig-header in mod_proxy and server.use-x-orig, so that the reverse proxy adds an additional header before forwarding the request to the backend.

This way, it would be possible to have the "correct" IP in the logfiles, and also use eg $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in PHP even with a lighty behind another lighty as reverse proxy.

It looks like mod_extforward should be used on lighttpd which is behind another lighttpd, correct?

But we have apache behind lighttpd. All requests are coming to apache with IP address of lighttpd. And I am afraid that mod_extforward won't help in this case :(

http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs/ModExtForward mentions an apache module for it http://web.warhound.org/mod_extract_forwarded/ thanks for RTFMing yourself.
