I know why this happens and I know what to fix, but I don’t know where to fix it. When Magento logs IP address using REMOTE_ADDR it logs Mosso’s Load Balancers.

So I was wondering if there is an easy fix to change the way Magento Logs IP address for “Online Customers” and when making a transaction? The proper way to log the IP on Mosso when an account has SSL is to use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR (http://help.mosso.com/article.php?id=180) so the first and only thing I’ve tried so far was change System>Config>Web>Session Validation Settings to not validate using REMOTE_ADDR. Of course that didn’t change the way it logs the IP during a transaction. Where can I change the way Magento Logs IP addresses?
