It's not feasable to use a proxy and ident support at the same time.

Ident requests are done by the server, which makes a connection back to the source ip (in this case the proxy) for the request. For it to work the ident request would also need to be proxied which isn't pratical because most proxies will not allow listen requests on ports below 1024 for security reasons. ident uses 113.
