          location @proxy {
              proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
              proxy_set_header Host $host;
              proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
              proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
          }

don't forget to handle X-Real-IP header in your backend (mod_rpaf for
apache 2.x, or mod_realip for Apache 1.3)
