Description:
I was looking for a function to access the IP address the mysql connection is comming from. It's for logging purposes. I was hoping a query similar to this could be made to work:
insert into ... set ip=INET_ATON(client_ip());

How to repeat:

makes sense, SERVER_IP() would be nice, too, esp. in load balancing/failover/replication situations ...

If you do add them, then please don't use "ip", the slang shorthand for "IP address".  The word "address" is a much better word, and isn't specific to the IP -- the Internet Protocol -- so could be used for any network that MySQL might run on.
