Be carefull though, other proxy may add this header into the request.
It could be of the form: "192.168.1.145,56.82.14.97" (private IP added bya http proxy, then public IP of the proxy added by haproxy) and may be longer.
The ease the job here with an apache reverse proxy i added a delete header to
reset It before mod_proxy will set it up. I'm starting to study haproxy and you should look ad req[i]del to do the same.
