Jim,
Most load balancers will set a HTTP header called "X-Forwarded-For"
with the actual IP. We just created a request variable and used it in
our apps. Here is the code we use just in case X-Forwarded-For doesn't
exist.
<!--- Make sure that we know the users real ip address --->
<cftry>
<cfif StructKeyExists(GetHttpRequestData().headers, "X-Forwarded-For")>
<cfset request.remote_addr =
GetHttpRequestData().headers["X-Forwarded-For"]>
<cfelse>
<cfset request.remote_addr = CGI.REMOTE_ADDR>
</cfif>
<cfcatch type="any"></cfcatch>
</cftry>
