> Currently the SpamFilter only supports banning based on IP address of the 
> client (as gotten from the HttpRequest.getRemoteAddr() ).
> If you are behind a proxy or loadbalancer, chances are that you get the 
> address of the proxy or lb instead of the real client IP address.
> Therefore the X-Forwarded-For request header could be used.
> See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Forwarded-For
