The external ACL helpers don't know one IP from any other. They simply 
check what is given to them against some form of username+ip mapping.


In Squid-3.5 that would be %MYADDR 
<http://ww.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.5/cfgman/external_acl_type.html>.

In Squid-4+ it would be %>la 
<http://ww.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.5/cfgman/logformat.html>
