Oops, minor correction. You need to set both of these. Igor has
written a patch for latest 0.7.x (and who knows what other versions
work) to allow -any- header to be used as the "real ip", otherwise an
unaltered nginx can use either X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP.

set_real_ip_from 192.168.1.0/24;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;

You also need to make sure the "realip" module is enabled. Not sure if
it's own by default.
