IPAddress = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")

One word of warning, I have discovered to my downfall just yesterday
that REMOTE_ADDR can have more than one IP address in it, it can be a
comma separated list of IPs.

So look out for that if you are processing them or any such thing.

How can that be?

Surprised me as well, I've not looked at the HTTP specs yet to see
what it's all about.

The client in question was going through some kind of web cache box
thing.

REMOTE_ADDR was being reported like this (just a random made up
example)

195.148.231.128, 10.0.1.124

So I'm thinking it was the external IP of the cache machine and
possibly the internal IP of the requesting client for some reason or
another.
