FYI, there is an apache module that already does this.  I can't remember
the name offhand, but it creates a similar header called something like
X-Original-Addr.  The module works in two parts and is both 'client' and
'server', so that if you have two apache processes one prxying to the
other, the first will generate the header, and the second will recognise
it and set the appropriate variables.
