You can reference that as cgi.http_x_forwarded_for -- and it will come back blank if not there, and with a list of IPs otherwise.
So I supposed you could do something in your onrequest that if it exists replaces cgi.remote_addr -- but that's not going to help you if it returns multiple IPs. (We usually see 2 IPs in the list). Also note: the IPs returned could well be another proxy. It is still not a definitive end-point resolver.
