Thanks James. My current method is to do exactly that - I just wondered if I could avoid sending snippets down that I can tell server side based on REMOTE_ADDR won't be needed. I might poke generate_kickstart() to see if I can work out what variable, if any, it appears as while parsing the templates.

Thanks,

Hi,

Is there a way to get the client IP retrieving the kickstart file (as opposed to the IP configured for a given system) in getVar in a snippet? Something like getVar(REMOTE_ADDR, None)

Snippets are executed on the client side, so you should be able to figure out any IP that is used there.

The REMOTE_ADDR is captured when the kickstart is retrieved (in cobbler/remote.py generate_kickstart()), though I'm not sure if that's helpful to you.
