Modifying BIND to provide requesting IP address to sdb API

I've written a custom SDB driver for BIND that interacts with a Python
system I've already written.  The only problem is that my SDB driver
lookup function needs access to the requesting client's IP address (the
IP address of the machine that originated the DNS query), not just the
zone and hostname to resolve.  I know that BIND has this information at
some point, but then must not pass it into the sdb API.  Are there any
BIND developers lurking on this list that could point me in the right
direction in terms of what I would need to do to modify the sdb API?
Simple greps in the named source directory for "lookup" don't actually
turn up any seemingly valid results, so I have no idea where the SDB
drivers are even being invoked from.

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
