Telnet client IP determination

I have configured my firewall to allow only five remote IP's to connect to my server. Upon connection...i would like to automate the Xsession functions for authorized IP's.

Mainly, $DISPLAY of the environment to the client.

I understand that the "gethostbyaddr" function is capable of this. But this means i would have to make another connection(as in...a separate client-to-server) other than the original telnet to perform this. Correct?

How do i do this without burdening the client with starting two scripts?

NAME
transmission-remote-cli - a console client for the Transmission BitTorrent client SYNOPSIS
transmission-remote-cli [options] [filename-or-URL] DESCRIPTION
transmission-remote-cli is a curses interface for the daemon of the BitTorrent client Transmission. OPTIONS
--version Show version number and exit -h --help Show usage information and a list of options -c CONNECTION --connect=CONNECTION Point to the server. CONNECTION must match the following pattern: [username:password@]host[:port][path] Default: localhost:9091 -s --ssl Use SSL to connect to the server. Default: don't use SSL --create-config Create configuration file with default values. NOTE: A config file won't be created unless you provide this option at least once. After that, it is rewritten whenever transmis- sion-remote-cli exits. -f CONFIGFILE --config=CONFIGFILE Set path to configuration file. Default: ~/.config/transmission-remote-cli/settings.cfg -n --netrc Get authentication info from ~/.netrc. -- OPTIONS Use the known server connection to pass OPTIONS on to transmission-remote. FILES
transmission-remote-cli overwrites the configuration file on exit. Keep that in mind if you edit it manually. SEE ALSO
