I think that there is not.

The connection comes from srcip:srcport to dstip:dstport.

By using the realip module, you ask nginx to replace srcip anywhere
where it might care what value it has.

Once you do that, I think that srcport is meaningless.

You can see the connecting ip:port in the debug log, on the accept:
line; so I guess that in principle, a module that ran before realip
(or a modified realip) could make it available somewhere. But I don't
think it can be done without getting code written.


Good luck with it,
