Hello Maxim,

Sorry about highjacking this thread, but I think my question is relevant. In the nginx configuration I have:

# limit simultaneous connections
limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=addr:1m;
limit_conn addr 16;

But the error_log file says:

2012/01/11 21:41:39 [warn] 10140#0: *2959 limiting connections by zone "addr", client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.0", host: "mysite.com", referrer: "http://code.google.com/p/slowhttptest/"
2012/01/11 21:41:40 [warn] 10140#0: *2962 limiting connections by zone "addr", client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.0", host: "mysite.com", referrer: "http://code.google.com/p/slowhttptest/"

Question is, why 127.0.0.1 for the remote client address? It should have nothing to do with loopback host address. It must be external IP.

Any workaround? Also, I noticed that "server:" is empty. Any other reason for that? I have a dozen of virtual hosts configured with fastcgi_pass to php-fpm.

Many thanks for your assistance.

nginx/1.1.12
