 * Hi – Is there anything I can do to resolve the following issue.
    We have a reverse-
   proxy in front of our WordPress site, so the client IP address is always that
   of the reverse-proxy. This obviously doesnt help when lots of different users
   are entering incorrect passwords as it appears though we’re being hit from the
   same IP address. Can this plugin be modified to use the x-forwarded-for header
   instead.

 * See the “Installation” section/tab in the readme.txt file or the plugin’s page
   on wordpress.org.
