I don't exactly have an answer to your question but what I would do is
to use that $this->_request->server('REMOTE_ADDR') in my controller
and pass that as a param to the model object. That is, I try to
prevent using superglobals in my models. There are some exceptions
ofcourse... :-)

Sorry if this didn't help to solve your problem.
