FreeBSD be1.knxs.net 7.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Fri Sep 25 04:11:58 PDT 2009     tech@be1.knxs.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
Before submiting this PR I have checked to make sure a PR of this nature had not already been submitted.  I also reviewed current ports/UPDATING and src/UPDATING to be sure.
  
mod_rpaf and mod_rpaf2 are master slave ports.  I use mod_rpaf2 on apache22 with nginx front end.  mod_rpaf2 is useable with apache22+.  

apache-2.2.20_1     Version 2.2.x of Apache web server with prefork MPM.
ap22-mod_rpaf-0.6_1 Make proxied requests appear with client IP
nginx-0.8.54        Robust and small WWW server
>How-To-Repeat:
Both mod_rpaf and mod_rpaf2 are slated for deprecation on 11-1-2011.
>Fix:
I contacted maintainer apache@freebsd.org and per Phillip M. Gollucci of Apache he suggested the following:

"What should happen is mod_rpaf becomes mod_rpaf2 with the appropriate changes to make it only for 22+, then mod_rpaf can quietly go away when apache13/20 do."

This will require a change to the ports themselves as they are currently linked as master/slave though the slave works with apache22+.
