NVR1100 Port Forwarding

Hi,
I have set up an NVR1100 to do port forwarding to internal servers. (Servers on my LAN)
The public interface has an public IP address that listens on https traffic and forwards it to an internal web server. When the packets arrive at the internal webserver they are processed. In the logfile of the internal webserver I see that the request came from the Private Interface of the NVR1100. So, I assume that the NVR110 Replaced the source IP with it's own Private IP. For security reasons we need the actual IP address that initiated the connection (the internet client's IP address) to be logged on the webserver. I know that the NVR should be possible to provide that information. Is there a specific seeting that needs to be set?
 
Just a thought, but have you tried enabling the Detailed log view for the security logs? (done in the stateful fw/nat section). My thought is that this should (could) show the translation tables your after.

Correct,
I did that and I can see the translations.
But the problem is that the IP packet's source address is being modified with the private address of the NVR1100. I am therefore unable to see the original address in the log file on the webserver.
Any other idea?
 
Thats kind of the whole point of the port forwarding...its natural that the web server would show the private interface of the contivity box.
I don't think you're gonna be able to change this at all. Sorry.
