I dislike that. Idea of proxy is to be mostly transparent. IMO
$sender_host_address should show client ip and $proxy_host_address could be
showing proxy ip (and thus indicating that proxy was used if prox_host_address
was set.)

Benefits of this - no need for separate rules for non-proxy case and separate
for proxy case and still detection of connections via proxy is easy.
