Real Ips?

I am looking to replace Apache with Hiawatha as my backend server behind Nginx but just wondering if the security features (bans etc) work with Real IPs (x-forwarded-for). In other words, will it ban the baddy's IP of Nginx's?
Thanks.

If you use the HideProxy option, everyting works the same as without that proxy.

Thanks. Got it.
I hit a bit of a wall as it compiles into usr/local/etc on my centos and I want to get it to compile into /etc/ .... where everything else is.
Would be nice to have a configure option. As a stop gap, can you please point to where to edit in configs?.

Use './configure --help' to see all configure options. Take a look at the section that says 'Fine tuning of the installation directories'.

Would it be workable for the stuff under "PREFIX/sbin" to go into "PREFIX/sbin/hiawatha"? In this way, they are all together and I can easily identify hiawatha related stuff from other stuff in there.
I note though that everything else also seem to be just loose in that folder.

Simply specify it via --sbin-dir.

Done ... Thanks.
Will now sit and study the conf file.
Thanks again for the help.
