 This is how the ident protocol works.  The IP addresses used for the
 ident connection are used as the IP addresses to combine with the ports
 being queried.  See RFC 1413 for more information.
 
 |   The information returned is that associated with the fully specified
 |   TCP connection identified by <server-address>, <client-address>,
 |   <port-on-server>, <port-on-client>, where <server-address> and
 |   <client-address> are the local and foreign IP addresses of the
 |   querying connection -- i.e., the TCP connection to the Identification
 |   Protocol Server.
