Hmm, I should have also mentioned, that mldonkey is _not_ running on
the router itself. If run on the router, client_ip is set correctly.
But that machine is definitely too weak ;)

Forcing my external IP works, but I haven't let it run long enough
to get a clear picture, wether it brings more performance to
edonkey/overnet. Bittorrent btw is not in the least concerned about
client_ip :)
