Kind of makes sense -- the CGI-related environment variables are set
very late in processing -- so maybe reqenv() is not so useful for
these because it runs relatively early.
I think what you actually need is an enhancement to the expression
parser to make "SERVER_ADDR" available. Can you open an
enhancement-type bug report?
