Quite so. As a variant I just use verify_request() to persist the
client IP address, and then wait until _dispatch() to do everything
else.

class RPCServer(SimpleXMLRPCServer):
	def verify_request(self, handler, address):
		self.client_ip, self.client_port = address
		return True

	def _dispatch(self, method, args):
		do_something(self.client_ip)

Though using a firewall would not be remiss. :-)
