CGI.pm - Remote_Addr

| This might be a little off-topic and/or a double post of which I'm
really sorry, but my mail server has done bad things to me lately. I'm
trying to pull a remote_addr with CGI.pm, however, the machine I'm doing
it on is behind a firewall. The Remote_addr keeps showing the firewall
address regardless where I login from. How do I set up the net to grab
the right remote_addr on the server? I'm using NATD and IPFW at the
firewall to direct traffic to the internal web server. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

This is a side effect of NAT. Is the firewall
acting as a proxy - passing requests to the
internally protected WWW?
If so - allow a direct WWW connection.
Sorry;
