HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR question

Since the function to retrieve IP first looks at HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, and that for some reason returns my server IP, I can't rely on this. I can modify the function to just use REMOTE_ADDR but I'm worried I'm may be missing some fraudsters trying to use proxies. Has anyone seen an issue with HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR returning server IP?

I don't know if the hosting company has changed something but it seems that HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is returning same IP for everything and that is my own IP.
