Package: lib-apache2-mod-rpaf
Version: 0.6-13

Hi the current upstream for this package is pointing to
http://www.stderr.net/apache/rpaf/ which for me at least seems to have
disappeared and from what I can tell is no longer supported.

I can see someone on github has improved this module and is actively
supporting it.
https://github.com/gnif/mod_rpaf

I propose that the upstream for this module be changed going forward to the
github repo as it seems better maintained. It also has a feature that I
think a lot of users for the module would benefit from.

In the current code base you must specify exactly which ip address
in RPAFproxy_ips which is not ideal. If your load balancer changes IP
addresses often which is the case in environments such as AWS ELB then you
never are sure what the load balancer's specific IP address is going to be.

The github repo feature allows you to set RPAFproxy_ips to a value such as "
172.0.0.0/24" which means you don't have to exactly match the IP address.
This is a must have feature at least for me if not others.

Regards,
Andrew
