Taking your remote_ip hint, and reading the Eagle a bit more closely, I came up with 
this:

In httpd.conf:

<Location /cgi-bin/VENDOR>
PerlAccessHandler LHSC::FakeRemoteIP
</Location>

Here's the handler:

#!/bin/perl

package LHSC::FakeRemoteIP;

use Apache::Constants qw /:common/;
use strict;

sub handler {
   my $r = shift;
   $r->connection->remote_ip("1.2.3.4");
   return OK;
}

1;

I've tested it and it works perfectly.
