   A company has multiple backend servers, and the NGINX reverse proxy needs to pass the original client's IP to the backend. The configuration currently has proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; in the http block. However, a specific location block needs to use a different value for this header. What is the correct approach?
