CloudFlare passes the IP of user accessing the site via a HTTP header variable which I capture on Varnish and can use. But am not sure how to get it to be used by q2a installation. RIght now all am seeing for IP address of any visitor is 127.0.0.1 - understandably that's the IP of my varnish installation.
