I use the same setup. Though I'm not aware of a patch to mod_proxy, I
currently use a module written by Ask Bjoern Hansen called
proxy_add_forward.
Compiling this into your proxy server adds an X-Forwarded-For header to the
proxy requests which contains the ip of the client you're interested in.
You can find that module here
http://modules.apache.org/search?id=124
and probably a host of other places.
