The client code to identify the ip address assumes the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will provide the correct address, but this isn't the case when we get into the land of proxy servers, etc.

You could implement something like the Mollom example app does:

Which is the same as a the simple approach here:

There is also a good discussion about using Symfony's Request::ip method here:

Any plans for upgrading?
