Eureka,
Look section number 2 will be apropriate solution But it looks complicated :-) 
What I have in mind before is having a mapping table from Sun Ray Server (using 
utwho) and log from Application Server. I am not sure about the application 
behaviour, but I thing it can see from one IP address. (in Section 2, the 
application can not see from one IP right?) The only purpose of mr customer is 
security issue using IP address.
I will look into detail in the aplication side to decide which will be 
apropriate solution for them

THanks Kevin

You are in luck.  There may be a way you can record the IP 
address:

If you are doing the recording on the SunRay server, you can 
record the SunRay DTU's IP address.  See section 1.

If the application is sitting on another system, and you are 
connecting to it via the network, skip to section 2.

Section 1:

The utwho command can give you the IP address of each DTU, 
whether logged in or not.

I was planning on using it to assign certain variables based 
on the IP of the unit, but I found a different solution.  
Anyway...

I don't have my sunray's here, but you can do something like 
this:

/opt/SUNWut/bin/utwho -c |grep $SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN

This will give you the display number, session token, logged 
in user, IP address, SunRay model, and MAC address. 
(grepped by token)

You can use awk to get just the IP address from the output.

This will only work if you are actually logged into the 
SunRay itself, since it relies on the SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN 
environment variable.

If you want to get a list of all of the DTU's from the 
server, you can add -a to the command.  You won't be able 
to grep on the token, but you can get a complete list of 
all the DTU's connected to that server.

Check the man page for utwho for more info.


SECTION 2:

If you are looking to have a single IP for each DTU 
represented outside the SunRay environment, it's a much 
trickier problem.

Since the DTU's IP address is only known to the server (and 
nowhere else), you would have to connect to your network 
application in a special way.

You will have to set up an alias address on your SunRay 
server for each DTU.  Then you will have to force the 
application to connect from that alias address.

I had to do it for an application where I had no source.  I 
forced the application to do a bind syscall (using my alias 
address to bind to) before running a connect syscall.  This 
effectively set the source address to one of the aliases I 
had set up.  Since I didn't have the source code to the 
application, I spent a long time running truss to diagnose 
the behavior, then wrote a interposer library to override 
the default system calls.

Now when I run my application multiple times from the SunRay 
server, the remote system thinks I'm connecting from a 
different address for each connection.

This approach is doable, but not recommended if you can 
avoid it.  See the bind and connect man pages if you want 
to take this route.
