KeepAlive + ForwardFor

Hi !

I'm dealing with an haproxy feature issue right now ; which is bugging me quite a bit.
Here it is :

• No keep-alive is a performance killer with Internet Explorer browser. (that is, over 80% of the website visitors). The sites becomes slow when keep-alive is deactivated, in a way that is very noticeable. The more there are pictures on the site, more it has a high impact.
• If I don't disable keep-alive in haproxy, according to the documentation, the X-Forward-For header is not sent ; therefore breaking logs and environment variables (I use mod_rpaf to convert the header to $REMOTE_ADDR)

Did I miss something ?
Isn't there a way to resend the header at each request ; keeping the haproxy <-> IE connection open ? Or something like that ... ?

Thanks for any of your insights,
