No, we are not doing any of that locally. We are behind Apache and SSL
is terminated at the load-balancer. Instead, we have had great success
using Tomcat's Remote IP valve:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Remote_IP_Valve
https://code.google.com/p/xebia-france/wiki/RemoteIpValve (for 5.5)

The use of this Valve has been discussed a few times in the past:
