Hi Peter, You need to be using the RequestContext middleware - see 'option #1' on the following:
http://lincolnloop.com/blog/2008/may/10/getting-requestcontext-your-templates/ Once you've got that, you can then use {{request.META}} within your templates. There is also a how to here, which shows the 'ip_address' as an example. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/api/ But in my personal opinion (in this particular example) using an additional processor is a bit pointless (unless the header is dynamic, in which case you'd use middleware anyway :X) Hope this helps.
