weird IP address question for PHP experts

ip address detect

[sabongio]

hey there

have a (possibly) tough one for you. :)

let's say i have a 2 web servers. i have a php script running on the first that uses an included PHP script that's sitting on server 2.

how can i get the script on server 2 that's sending info back to server 1 to detect the IP address of the requesting server so i can check for authorization?

i was looking at $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] but i don't think it's what i need.

any help will be very gratefully received,

thanks
