+ <p>The <code class="directive">RemoteIPProxyProtocol</code> directive enables or
+ disables the reading and handling of the PROXY protocol connection header.
+ If enabled with the <code>On</code> flag, the upstream client <em>must</em>

+ be aborted unless it is in the list of disabled hosts provided by the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#remoteipproxyprotocolexceptions">RemoteIPProxyProtocolExceptions</a></code>
+ directive.</p>
+
+ <p>While this directive may be specified in any virtual host, it is
+ important to understand that because the PROXY protocol is connection
+ based and protocol agnostic, the enabling and disabling is actually based
+ on IP address and port. This means that if you have multiple name-based
+ virtual hosts for the same host and port, and you enable it for any one of
+ them, then it is enabled for all of them (with that host and port). It also
+ means that if you attempt to enable the PROXY protocol in one and disable
+ in the other, that won't work; in such a case, the last one wins and a
+ notice will be logged indicating which setting was being overridden.</p>

+ <p>The <code class="directive">RemoteIPProxyProtocol</code> directive enables or
+ disables the reading and handling of the PROXY protocol connection header.
+ Sometimes it is desirable to require clients to provide the PROXY header, but
+ permit other clients to connect without it. This directive allows a server
+ administrator to configure a single host or CIDR range of hosts that may do
+ so. This is generally useful for monitoring and administrative traffic to a
+ virtual host direct to the server behind the upstream load balancer.</p>
