When I ask for the environment variable REMOTE_ADDR (e.g. by SSI or

You're not asking for the right thing. The purpose of 'REMOTE_ADDR'
is to let the server know which computer it should be talking to.
What you want is called HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in PHP, though it may
have other names in other languages.
