X-forwarded-for and two nginx instances + apache

Server NGINX
1

Hi there,

I’m running two nginx instances in-front of Apache. Trying to pass
visitors real-ip address to apache.

In normal cases (with one nginx instance in-front of Apache) I’m using:

        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For

$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

and mod_rpaf on apache to handle the X-Forwarded-For header.

How do I proceed with two nginx instances where the first one should
pass $remote_addr to the second one, which should pass it to Apache?

Thanks!

Solved! I was (wrongly) overwriting the x-real-ip and x-forwarded-for
headers with the second nginx.
