Basically, yes, the same idea as $clienthost but for the local side of 
the socket connection. I don't trust DNS so I'd only want to use the IP 
address (rather than the hostname).

We use it for virtual hosting POP3. We have thousands of accounts dating 
back to the old days before we could use @domain.com in the POP3 
username. It's not practical for us to require them to all reconfigure 
their mail clients to add @domain.com, so we have to continue to support 
one POP3 "namespace" per IP address. If only tpop3d had been around in 
1995. :-)

I may be able to get you patches today.
