The hobbit server will see all connections as coming from the bbproxy
server's IP.

An accurate depiction of the connections.

As a side note, even though the Hobbit server sees connections as coming
from the bbproxy server, the data sent by the proxy server includes the
original IP of the client which originated the message. So even though
data is passing through the proxy, status messages will still show the
real IP in the "Status message received from ..." line.
