There was recently a thread on this subject on this list. The solution consisted of using a module that fiddles with the X-Forwarded-For header.
The exact name of the thread was "[users@httpd] reverse proxy - forward ip"

Subject: [users@httpd] Get original user host name through reverse proxy
Hello all,
I have Apache running on an externally accessible IP on port 80 along with mod_proxy installed. I have it properly forwarding to an internal machine on the LAN running IIS.
The issue that I'm hoping to resolve is that when I check the user host name field in the request, it returns the IP address of the Apache server, instead of the original user that requested the proxied page.
Is there any way to not have Apache act "properly" in this case and just forward on the original requestor?
Here is my virtual host configuration (domain names
obfuscated):
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.myserver.com
ProxyPass / http://internal.myserver.com/
ProxyPassReverse / http://internal.myserver.com/
HostnameLookups On
ErrorLog /local/logs/myserver-error_log
CustomLog /local/logs/myserver-access_log combined
Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
AddOutputFilter Includes .html
</VirtualHost>
Thank you!
Kevin
