Maybe you can have a look if there is any environment variable that is being
passed on to the other machines in the cluster, which contains the user's IP
(such as 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR') ...
If you have another environment var that contains the IP address, you coul d
probably get away with patching lib/Vend/Server.pm in the 'populate' sub
...
