    }

      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)

Thanks and Regards
