i'm not so sure you can... source address is rewritten as packets flow
trough the firewall, so the only useful(?) action i can think about is
to install an http proxy server on the firewall and relay on the proxy
logs instead of the apache ones... well, some job playing with a sniffer
could achieve the same results without the extra loading of a proxy you
don't need...
