Nginx has never had a problem setting X-Forwarded-For ever since I
have been using it. Just use these settings as part of the config:
# needed for HTTPS only
proxy_set_header X_FORWARDED_PROTO https;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect false;
You can see a full config file for nginx/mongrel here:
