last_login plugin and $remote_ip

19 Apr 2023

      Good morning.
I am planning a dovecot system with:

3 x glusterfs servers (with 2 volumes, 1 ssd for short term mail, and 1 with bigger hdd for long term archive mail)
1 x mysql server (another server with active replica will be added)
3 x mbox servers (with dovecot pop/imap/lmpt/sieve/postfix)
3 x dovecot proxy/directors for pop3/imap/smtp
4 x proxmox mail gateway for antispam/antivirus in front of smtp servers
1 x centralized syslog server

All have private ip addresses, and in front there is a firewall with HA_proxy to make high availability and load balancing.
My only problem now is using last_login plugin; i have configured on the mailbox servers on pop3/imap, but the ip address that is written on mysql is the proxy/director address, not the real client ip address.
No results using real_remote_ip.

in db I have last_ip: 172.16.27.31, not 212.66.96.188
