The option is called "reverse-proxy" (default NIL) and must be
set to t if your stand-alone TBNL is behind a proxy.

The saved remote address is NIL when a stand-alone TBNL without
reverse proxy is used. Otherwise the address mod_lisp or the
header "X-Forwarded-For" (proxy) tells us.


I think most of the people will use Apache+mod_lisp or a reverse
proxy (e.g. lighttpd+mod_proxy) when the wiki is accessible by
the whole wild net. In any other case it's not very important to
remember the remote address of every user changing a page.
