Sam,
I knew I missed something. There is a C-string containing the local_ip of
the server in the conn_rec struct.
I believe the access from a request_rec would be r->connection->local_ip
There can still be cases where comparing ip's won't help. Your
(misconfigured) browser could be coming through a http-proxy -or - you
could be on a multihomed machine... though neither of these
conditions would apply to your case I guess.
