There is no automatic method. You will have to do it your self.

Is it still possible to convert the Drupal 6 patch for Drupal 5?

When I moved our drupal server behind a reverse proxy I lost all styles and functionality. Did you have to do anything special?

The patch was submitted for Drupal 6, but you could do something similar for Drupal 5.

You can use the ip_address function as it is, then replace all occurences of $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] with ip_address(). Also do not forget to include ip_address(true); in index.php

Hope this helps, if not let me know, I'll create a patch for Drupal 5.

I have a question about this. You say this patch is for Drupal 5, but it looks like it’s for Drupal 6. Do you have code or instructions for running Drupal 5 behind a reverse proxy? Thanks!
