Michael,
 
In 5.5 the client ip address (and more) will be available in mpe vars.
There may even be a patch for 5.0, but I'm not sure. If you don't want
to wait to get the mpe var support you can download a zip package which
contains the source code to call NSINFO to determine the client ip
address at: http://www.qss.com/vtverify.zip
 
The code is free for your use. Hope it helps.
