user at host fun with stunnel

[Matt Best]

Hey again listers, 

I'm in a bit of an interesting quagmire here.  I use stunnel
(http://www.stunnel.org) to offer ircd over SSL to my users.

This is my stunnel statement:

/usr/sbin/stunnel -r 192.168.0.25:6667 -d 192.168.0.25:8887 -p
/etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -o /var/log/stunnel.ext.log

This reads as "listen on port 8887 and encrypt all connections to this
port, then redirect to port 6667".  The ircd is listening on 6667.   I
basically have a standard NAPT gateway in front of the server that
redirects port 8887 to 192.168.0.25.

The problem with this, is I think it kinda breaks ident.  When a user
connects, they are always connected as "root at 192.168.0.25", instead of
"user at isp-assigned-ip-address-or-hostname".

Can anybody think of a way around this?  I understand this may be
beyond the scope of this list.  Any suggestions are appreciated. 
Thanks.

Kind regards, 

Matt
