You're pretty much there. When called in the clientside context, IP::local_addr and TCP::local_port will return the IP and port the client made the request to (the client's destination IP and port). For host virtual servers, this will be the virtual server IP and port. If you want to get the client's destination IP and port from a serverside event, you can use the clientside command.

 

 

See this old post for details on IP's and context:
