In SLB, a Listener is configured with policies and forwarding rules that define how the load balancer will handle incoming requests, including protocol, port, and health check configurations. It does not represent an SLB instance itself or a collection of ECS instances, but it plays a crucial role in managing traffic routing and session persistence.

The X-Forwarded-For field in HTTP header is used to identify the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or a load balancer. When the “Obtain the Visitor’s Real IP Address” function is enabled in Alibaba Cloud SLB, the SLB instance adds the X-Forwarded-For field to the HTTP header of each request and forwards the request to the backend server. The backend server can then obtain the real IP address of the visitor from the X-Forwarded-For field1. The format of the X-Forwarded-For field is as follows:

X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2

where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request adding the IP address where it received the request from. In this example, the request passed through proxy1, proxy2, and then the SLB instance (proxy3).2

In Alibaba Cloud RDS, read-only instances are synchronized from the master instance but do not allow actions such as creating or deleting databases, configuring backup policies, or changing account authorizations. However, you can configure the read-only instance’s whitelist to control access.
