request.remote_ip return same ip for all clients

#2830

I have a ip-protected area in my application.
I test if the request.remote_ip is equivalent to my fix ip.

But since the new rails update I receive for all clients the same ip.
It worked well before I made the rails update to 2.3.2 .

previous rails = 2.0.2
rails = 2.3.2
mongrel = 1.1.5
Apache = 2.2.3

    I use request.env['REMOTE_ADDR'] to achieve this. Hope that helps.

    I'm sorry, but there isn't enough information for us to figure out what is going on.

    Could you provide in detail everything that changed between when everything worked and everything did not work. Could you also provide a failing test against 2-3-stable that illustrates the bug. This would allow us to perform a bisect and understand the problem better.

    I can provied you with the environment varaibles of my rails application:

    84.253.XXX.XXX

    REMOTE_ADDR 217.150.XXX.XXX
    SERVER_NAME 217.150.XXX.XXX

    request.remote_ip return 217.150.XXX.XXX.
