1. Привет! This let’s the web server keep its default behavior of saving the session locally, leaving it up to the load balancer to get a client back to that server.

2. This code is more complete:

   function get_ip_address()
   {
   $header_checks = array(
   ‘HTTP_CLIENT_IP’,
   ‘HTTP_PRAGMA’,
   ‘HTTP_XONNECTION’,
   ‘HTTP_CACHE_INFO’,
   ‘HTTP_XPROXY’,
   ‘HTTP_PROXY’,
   ‘HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION’,
   ‘HTTP_VIA’,
   ‘HTTP_X_COMING_FROM’,
   ‘HTTP_COMING_FROM’,
   ‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’,
   ‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED’,
   ‘HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP’,
   ‘HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR’,
   ‘HTTP_FORWARDED’,
   ‘ZHTTP_CACHE_CONTROL’,
   ‘REMOTE_ADDR’
   );

   foreach ($header_checks as $key)
   if (array_key_exists($key, $_SERVER) === true)
   foreach (explode(‘,’, $_SERVER[$key]) as $ip)
   {
   $ip = trim($ip);
   if (filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV4 | FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE | FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE) !== false)
   return $ip;
   }
   }
