Pass Cient IP to back end servers

Is there a way in iRules to send the IP address of the client PC to a back end server? My web writer thinks I should be able to send the IP from the HTTP header (refer) field to the back end servers? How would I do this?

 

 

Thanks!

    In an iRule: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::header insert ORIG_CLIENT_IP [IP::remote_addr]
}

    In a profile:

    profile http myhttp insert xforwarded for enable
