client ip address using proxy_pass and issues

i am trying to move from nginx->fastcgi to nginx->apache->fastcgi

this how i have configured proxy_pass to my apache running on 2080.
my app gets the client ip address as 127.0.0.1. how to make it see the
correct real ip address.

        location / {
            root   /home/live/work/apps;
            proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:2080/$host$request_uri;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header IP_GEO $geo;
        }

i get the server address as this 'SERVER_ADDR': '127.0.0.1', how to fix
this?


the IP_GEO header gets converted to HTTP_IP_GEO, is there anyway to avoid
this as my python app uses IP_GEO everywhere.

thanks a lot!
