Description

I'd like to suggest to improve current $server_addr or introduce new veriable, that will return origin IP address used by a client to connect to nginx, even if connection was diverted by local DNAT rule.

My usecase is following:

a) I create iptables rules on the host:

# iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.170.1 --dport 7654 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:11123
# iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.170.2 --dport 7654 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:11123

b) Run nginx on localhost port 11123
c) Use telnet to hit 192.168.170.1:7654 and 192.168.170.2:7654
d) I need load balancer to choose different upstreams depending on the
address I specified on step (c)

Please note, that HAProxy supports this usecase via "dst" acl
https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/blob/master/src/proto_tcp.c#L600

Thanks.

Do you have any problems with using different listening sockets to distinguish requests to different destinations? It looks like a most obvious solution to the exact use case you've described.
