Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.14 Configuration File Reference

java-ip-check

Applicable in ObjectType-class directives.

The java-ip-check function enables clients to query the proxy server for the IP address used to reroute a resource. Because DNS spoofing often occurs with Java applets, this feature enables clients to see the true IP address of the origin server. When this feature is enabled, the proxy server attaches a header containing the IP address that was used for connecting to the destination origin server.
