Have you ensured that you setup your proxy to pass the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" 
header with the clients IP address

You can dump the _SERVER var to check if that value is being passed in the 
header.

Also, I would suggest using HAPROXY as a software based proxy, it's built 
specifically for such use-cases and, I can attest that it works perfectly with
a cakephp install as I am using it now to load balance 15 web nodes and 3 
databases.
