Almost certainly in the server's database.

One way to approach this:

1. Browse to the web page where one can add address book entries.

2. "View Source".  Find the <form> tags and see what URL the
   results are posted to.

3. On the server, find the CGI script corresponding to the URL.
   Read it.  Understand it. (-:

A second way: You can look through the database for something that
looks like an address book.

A third way (assuming MySQL): create a dummy entry an unlikely name in
it.  "12345 Squajilfamix St."

        # grep -rl Squajilfamix /var/lib/mysql
