Q: How to restrict access by both the remote IP address the X-FORWARD-FOR

Hello,

I like to know if there's a way to tell Apache to allow access only
from a specific IP (that in my scenario is a Proxy) and from that IP if
the header X-Forwarded-for is set to another specific address.

I don't know if the following would work (the docs are not clear
enough):

SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-for ^192.168.0.1 HIDDEN-ADDRESS-OK

Order allow,deny
Allow from my.proxy.com env=HIDDEN-ADDRESS-OK
Deny from all

Best regards,
Manuel.
