I don't think so. The REMOTE_ADDR value is only available when a script
is executed in a CGI context, so you would need to have a script on the
server which echoed the value. That isn't possible on an arbitrary
server, only on one over which you have control.

This is an XML newsgroup. You may get better information in a http forum.
