Nginx1->nginx2->apache and wrong IP address in nginx2 access log

Server NGINX
1

Hello,
I have a machine 1 with nginx as a proxy before apache, and machine2
with nginx as a proxy before apache. I am moving websites from machine1
to machine2. Because DNS still points to machine1, I need to pass
traffic from machone1 to machine2 for a while.
Everything is working fine, but in machine2 nginx log I have IP of
machine1 as clients address. This is a problem because of awstats.

Can please anybody advise me that I have wrong in my configuration?

Thanks,
Martin

My machine1 configuration:
server {
listen machine1ip:80;
server_name list-of-moved-websites;

            location / {
              client_max_body_size       10m;

              proxy_buffer_size          4k;

Have a look at http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpRealIpModule and
configure it on machine2:

#v+
set_real_ip_from outgoing_ip_address_of_machine1;
real_ip_header X-Real-IP;
#v-

that worked for me.
