ModuleRefererValidate blocks stream because of IP conflict

Hi,

I recently enabled ModuleRefererValidate on Wowza and it works fine most of the time. However I have noticed that it fails with the following in the log. It looks like there is some sort of IP address conflict between what is in the session and what is in the connection request. Has anyone seen this error before? The logs are pasted below (the line highlighted in red is where I belive the error is):

What can be the potential cause of IP address difference between session and running - which i take refers to the fact that different IP addresses were reported by image.gif and the Flash player connection.

Hi,

I think this would be easier to diagnose if you raised it as a support ticket. Please include a zip of your /conf and /logs as well as any supporting material such as your web pages etc. If you haven’t already, also enable debugging for the module as shown here and perform a few more tests before including the latest logs.

Thanks,

Paul
