pass user IP to file

[Andy Bailey]

thanks for your help. This is just for one file that is accessed by all and
it doesn't matter if the user is logged in or not.
if have tried

if (req.url ~ "commentluvapi.php") {

return(pass);

}

but requests made to that file show headers that tell me it was cached, I
made sure I did a /etc/init.d/varnish restart after changing default.vcl .Is
there anything else I should do to make sure varnish reloads the config?

I have just had mod_extract_forwarded added to apache so I will be adding set
req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip; also, will this help?

thanks so much for your replies

Andy
