Note that if this is a configuration where you're behind an HTTP proxy, the HTTP proxy will be in the REMOTE_ADDR variable, though some proxies will include an additional client header X-Forwarded-For that contains the IP address of the client of the proxy. So, changing your code to

$RMIP=$ENV{'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'} || $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};

may allow you to gleam the information about the true client in most situations. It depends on the proxy.

Of course, this is assuming that your traffic is in fact originating from a proxy and there isn't another explanation for the behavior you're seeing.
