Create a DTML method object called "test_request" with these
contents:

"""
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-var REQUEST>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
"""

You will find this a really educational experience. ;-D

Doing so, I find that REMOTE_ADDR is probably what you
want, although if you are running behind Apache as
I am doing (and as I think is most common), it will be
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.  Could be more complicated
if you are running a caching proxy server like Squid or
something.

But look at what the above script gives you on your
server, and it should be pretty easy to figure out.

Cheers,
Terry
