IP::server_addr
       Returns the server's IP address.

SYNOPSIS
       IP::server_addr

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the server's (node's) IP address once a serverside connection
       has been established. This command is equivalent to the command
       serverside { IP::remote_addr } and to the BIG-IP 4.X variable
       server_addr. The command returns 0 if the serverside connection has not
       been made.

       In BIG-IP 10.x with route domains enabled this command returns the
       server's (node's) address once the serverside connection is established
       in the x.x.x.x%rd if the server is in any non-default route domains
       else it returns just the IPv4 address as expected.

RETURN VALUE
       server's IP address

VALID DURING
       HTTP_REQUEST_SEND, HTTP_RESPONSE, IP_GTM, SERVER_CLOSED,
       SERVER_CONNECTED

EXAMPLES
	when SERVER_CONNECTED {
	   log local0. "Node IP address: [IP::server_addr]"
	}

	# In BIG-IP 10.x this returns only the IPv4 portion of the address regardless of the route domain
	when SERVER_CONNECTED {
	   log local0. "Node IP address: [getfield [IP::server_addr] "%" 1"
	}

HINTS
       The syntax checker will accept the use of IP::server_addr in additional
       events which are not necessarily valid. CLIENT_ACCEPTED is one such
       event, though it doesn't make sense to use a server command in that
       event. Also, it does not appear that the command returns 0 if the
       serverside connection has not been made.
