Hi
I am using OS X 10.11.2 and Server 5.0.11.
My access_log in /var/log/apache2/ is always like "xxx aa.bb.cc.dd - - [26/Oct/2015:12:30:39 +0900] "GET ..."
even I accessed the server(xxx) from other macs. The xxx and IP are the hostname and IP of the server, not of the macs.
The access host might be wrong. I expect that the server and IP must be a hostname of macs and its IP.
LogFormat "%h....".
Thanks

It sounds like you have the apache caching proxy enabled - this used to be called the Performance Cache, but it may be different now. The proxy sits in front of Apache, intercepting incoming requests and only passing cache misses to Apache. Since Apache sees the connection from the proxy, which is running on the same box, the IP address it sees is the IP address of the server.
There are a couple of ways of getting around it, and it's been a while since I've played with it, but the simplest may be to disable the proxy. It doesn't serve a huge purpose for most people. If you do want/need the cache then you need to adjust the logging to include the X-Forwarded-For headers instead of the client IP.
Hi Camelot,
Now I understand the cause, the proxy cache.
I'll try the X-Forwarded-For logging.
