Thanks Aaron. I was able to find what I needed. I found the following code that allowed me access to the x_forwarded IP address. Here is what I found:

 

 

 

Dim sIPAddress

 

sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")

 

If sIPAddress="" Then sIPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

 

 

So, the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR server variable seems to contain the original IP Address.

 

 

Thanks again,
