In PHP, this is accessible via the $_SERVER['X_FORWARDED_FOR'] variable
when it is set. I believe that it's the apache variable
ENV{'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'} Therefore, going by the log format
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod...g.html#formats), I
believe you could simply add the %{HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR}e to your
LogFormat line to get this recorded.
