I use this code to store the IP addresse:
 <?php
 $IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
 $query = "update mytable set ipaddr=inet_aton('$IP') where <some code>";
 mysql_query ($query);
 ?>
 
 When I do a 'select inet_ntoa(ipaddr) from mytable' most of the ip-addesses
 shows up correctly, but one showed up as "127.255.255.255", which is
 meaningless. Comparing to the log, the IP-address was 195.x.x.x
 
 Is the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] safe to use? Can it be something else that
 the actual source of the http request to my server?
