RE: [PHP] IP spoof

I don't think it's that easy. If you spoof your address while requesting a document the document will be sent to the spoofed address. And you therefore won't get it, unless you're doing something more. If you're talking about IP reliability from a webserver point of view I think you are referring to the proxy problem. Many users using the same proxy server, all the requests will have the same address. mike -----Original Message----- From: rick - SomersNet, Inc.

So I am wondering, if it's so easy, how do you do it? How could I make a request to my document and make the access appear in the apache_log file as if it was from an IP address I specify? or is it not that easy after all? Anyway, I am curious how this would be done..
