The problem I see with capturing IP addresses is the fact that any number
of users can use the same IP, at the same time.
The IP only identifies the server, it does not identify each and every
individual user.
Years ago I happened to run across a person in usenet who had the exact
same IP as mine and he had posted within a couple of minutes of a post of
mine. So naturally, I get accused of nymshifting.

What you should look into using, is a cookie.
With a cookie, you can identify the user more accurately.
Or at least some other means of identifying the actual machine being used.

I know some will insist that what I say is not possible.
Then how is it that a webhost can have a multitude of domains on one IP?
