It is possible that this module is setting the variable too late in
request processing for mod_setenif to get at it.

Read the docs for SetEnvIf.  You'll see that you don't need the HTTP-
prefix for headers.  It is just X-Forwarded-For, exactly as sent by
the client.

Because that isn't a request header, it is a variable created
specially by mod_setenvif.
