Hi, please remember there are situations like mine, where a private
network (with internal addressing) get internet access thru a proxy.
In that case, you get proxy's public IP address, but end user client
private addresses is not only hidden (security reasons) but also
invalid for your site.

So trying to get client user address could be anoying and useles...
