Tracking Public IPs from Web Server in the DMZ

david.johnson · ‎02-16-2005

I am wondering if it is possible to track IP addresses of computers on the Internet that make requests to a Web Server in the DMZ behind a PIX 515. When looking at the communication to the Web server, the request comes in as originating from the DMZ interface of the PIX. Is there a way to see what the external IP is that the PIX 515 DMZ interface is NAT ing and see this from the Web server?

You can place an IDS before the PIX and get these details.

You could use NTOP or send informational syslog infos to a syslog server and then filter that flat file for the information that you are interested in.

PIX settings:

fixup protocol http 80

logging on

logging timestamp

logging trap informational

logging facility 21

logging host inside 192.x.y.z

A good syslog (server) utility is:
