On second look, I don't think that interface is meant to take a client
IP, but rather a server IP:

  "They are intended to allow admin or user mode script to release NLM
   locks based on either a path name or a server in-bound ip address[...]"

That's why echoing the client IP makes no difference.

I'm surprised -- so far I've found no facility for lock management
server-side other than restarting the server.
