Hmm, I've never had this problem with a Mongrel in front of Rails via
Apache, using the standard Apache mod_proxy reverse proxy setup for
apache and mongrel.
My guess is that that mod_proxy in apache will automatically set
X-FORWARDED-FOR without the need for any special setup beyond the
reverse proxy setup; and that Rails will also automatically use that
x-ff header. But I've never looked into it, because I didn't need, it
just worked.
If you are not using apache and/or not using Rails, your mileage may
very. What is your environment?

You will not get these things from any of those variables. If you are using
Apache look for "set X-FORWARDED-FOR". In fact X-FF can be used to get ip
address for many http servers. More info at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For
