Protecting perl-status by IP on a backend server

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/02/27]

My setup:

mod_perl/1.999.21
httpd-2.0.53
mod_rpaf-0.5

I have a front-end apache that listens on the server IP, and proxies 
requests to a mod_perl server listening on several ports of 127.0.0.1.

I would like to be able to see the status pages without having to be 
logged into the server.  Is there a way for me to check the remote IP 
on the perl server?  I tried something like this (with my IP in that 
xxx expression):

SetEnvIf Remote_Host ^xx\.xxx\.xx\.xxx$ admin_ip

<Location /perl-server-status>
     SetHandler server-status
     Order deny,allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from env=admin_ip
</Location>

I still get

[client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration


I can access it OK if I get rid of all of the mod_access stuff, so I 
know it works generally.
