Bug General Proxy Question

Firstly I must apologise; I have posted something similar in the "general UNIX newbies" forum; but in reterospect I think that it's more appropriate here.

Anyhoo;

I am trying to detect whether people accessing one of my servers are coming via a proxied connection. I must add that this is *not* concerned with caching web-pages or anything of the like. There is a peculiarity of some in-house software that we have that means all http connections must be "real".

The only thing that I can think of is to write a daemon in perl which examines the source port of the incoming packet, checking for 'proxy-like' numbers.

On a slight tangent, are the network facets of perl directly portable to an NT implimentation of the language?

Does anybody have any suggestions? Thankyou in advance...

NAME
Perlbal::Plugin::XFFExtras - Perlbal plugin that can optionally add an X-Forwarded-Port and/or X-Forwarded-Proto header to reverse proxied requests. SYNOPSIS
# in perlbal.conf LOAD XFFExtra CREATE POOL web POOL web ADD 10.0.0.1:80 CREATE SERVICE proxy SET role = reverse_proxy SET listen = 0.0.0.0:80 SET pool = web SET plugins = XFFExtras SET send_backend_port = yes SET send_backend_proto = yes ENABLE proxy DESCRIPTION
This plugin adds optional headers to be sent to backend servers in reverse proxy mode. HEADERS
o X-Forwarded-Port This header will contain an integer value indicating the port that the peer connected to. This will correspond to the port number specified on the listen line of the perlbal service that initially handled the connection. o X-Forwarded-Proto This header will contain a string indicating the protocol the client connected to perlbal via. Currently this will be either 'http' or 'https'. AUTHOR
