This example is specifically why this cannot easily, if at all, be
done within an ACL. You would need to walk up the list of received
headers to find the first real address before making an evaluation,
and even then, care has to be taken for any forged addresses/headers that
may be present.

This sort of intelligence is best left to readsocket{} calls or imbedded perl.
