Amazon's solution for that is to support HAProxy's proxy protocol in their load balancer:

Basically, this is an in band signaling mechanism that inserts an additional header in the initial connection data containing the original client IP address/source port and destination IP address/source port,

AFAICS this only works with HTTP and SMTP.

Aaargh! I've missed the binary header part. So forget my former comments.
