You've used two different cidr addresses there. It's not clear which
one you actually mean.

Are you aware that 10.0.0.0/24 means "10.0.0.anything"?

If you want "10.anything", that is 10.0.0.0/8.

It looks to me like it should work.

And a quick test of

curl -i -H 'X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.1.99' http://localhost:8080/

shows "10.0.1.99" as the first field in access.log.

What does your set_real_ip_from directive say? And what is the IP address
of the load balancer that is talking to nginx?

I suspect that when you configure it right, nginx will work fine.

Good luck with it,
