forwarding original IP address

[Davies Matt J A (LCSS)]

Hi Paul, everyone.

My bad, I tried your version, was getting the same IP in the logs.  

Then checked what I was actually telling nginx to output at that point, and I wasn't showing the $http_x_forwarded_for value at all :-).  Now I am, I can see that it's showing me the right IP.

Thanks again.

You live, you learn

Matt
