You can reference that as cgi.http_x_forwarded_for -- and it will come back
blank if not there, and with a list of IPs otherwise.
Yes, any CGI variable will also return blank when directly referenced and not

So I supposed you could do something in your onrequest that if it exists
So we wound up just doing a replace/find to use this function instead
of the cgi.remote_addr everywhere.
