What is the difference between Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] and Request.UserHostAddress?

What is the difference between Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] and Request.UserHostAddress?

Are either of these variables considered unreliable with respect to IP Address spoofing?

They are the same, ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"] was provided only for backwards compatibility with older Classic Asp codebases. You should prefer using Request.UserHostAddress.

The .ServerVariables is provided for compatibility with the old ASP method for getting that information. Most of the information provided through that is now provided through separate properties.
