Nginx reverse proxy with IP-Based vhosts apache

[Jamie Quint]

I am aware of this, however the problem I am having is that apache can not
differentiate because it sees everything coming from nginx as
127.0.0.1(localhost). Thus the only way it works is if I do the
following...
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080>
    .....
</VirtualHost>

When in reality I want something like this...

<VirtualHost 77.77.66.66:8080>
    .....
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 77.77.66.65:8080>
    .....
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 77.77.66.64:8080>
    .....
</VirtualHost>

Which I cannot do without having some way to get the IP from behind nginx.
