Hi,
We've compile varnish with geoip module in order to cache country
based
hashes, so far varnish<-> apache structure is working fine with geoip
module and caching requests based on countries but when we add another
Nginx proxy layer in front of varnish i.e nginx → varnish - apache, the
geoip module stop tracking Country hashes and varnish shows following
logs :
TxHeader b X-GeoIP: Unknown
nginx : port 80
Varnish : port 6081
Apache : port 7172
So far, nginx is forwarding client ips to varnish but it looks like
varnish
sessionstart value in varnishlog still showing ip : 127.0.0.1 due to
which
it is unable to track client’s country. Only if someone can point me to
right direction.

As you can see from proxy.inc file that nginx is forwarding client’s
real
ip to varnish but still varnish is unable to track client’s GeoIP. Maybe
i
am missing some nginx settings because varnish:80 ↔ apache:7172
structure
working fine but nginx → varnish is not.
