feature request: passive check source address

Hi all,

I was wondering whether it would be possible to modify Nagios (or the  
NSCA daemon) in such a way that it logs the source address for an  
incoming service status update. Might seem a bit superfluous to most,  
but would you believe that in the environment we're working in right  
now most people don't even know -which systems- are submitting the  
passive checks? o_O

Having this extra field in a log file somewhere would make  
troubleshooting much easier. It would also allow us to do some  
additional checking to safeguard ourselves against spoofing.

Cheers!


Thomas
