What version of PostgreSQL are you running? In 8.0 and later you
can use inet_client_addr().
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-info.html
I forget if earlier versions have a way to get the client's IP
address without resorting to hacks (e.g., writing a function in a
privileged language like plperlu and calling netstat or lsof).
