REMOTE_ADDR on os x

I am trying to put a counter on my site, I need to use the REMOTE_ADDR php parameter. In os x this returns the servers ip address instead of the clients ip address. I read that prior to tiger you could use HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR, but this dose not seem to work anymore. what parameter will return the users ip in os x 10.4.3 Client?

This command works beautifully for me with the stock PHP in 10.4.4:
<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>
Are you sure you're not possibly access the server VIA the server? (e.g. NAT, Proxy, etc.)

If you aren't sure about NAT and Proxy, you probably aren't running them.
Are you using the installation of PHP that came with OS X Server? Or have you installed one from another location?

Turn off the performance cache in Server Admin -> Web -> Settings -> Sites -> Options
This acts as a proxy server in front of Apache to improve performance of certain files. However, one side effect is that Apache sees the IP address of the proxy server not the IP address of the user.
Performance cache or remote IP addresses. Pick one. You can't have both 
In most cases, turning off the performance cache is what most people opt for. The performance gains are usually modest.

I thought that might be the problem. I'm not running os x server, I am
running os x client as a server, so I can not use server admin. Is there
a way to turn off the performance cache other than server admin?
