I have sent a copy of my access_log file to an ISP to investigate an abuse report.

They are saying that the log file is only showing the proxy cache server for their network and not the end clients IP address.

The ISP says

"It is only possible to work around this problem if you are able and
willing to alter your CGI script. This script is looking at the wrong
variable. REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_HOST will both respond with the
xxxxxxxx traffic servers. However, if you use HTTP_CLIENT_IP this will
report the correct IP address."

So what script do I have to modify to show the http_client_ip ? or am I sending them an excerpt of the wrong log file?
