About using IP address - this is a bad idea. For example, we have one 
company with 30000 workers there, most using Internet. They all are seen 
under the same IP because of the corporate proxy. This proxy does not 
create HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, thus makes all 30000 look like one man.

FE user is good but only if visitors are really have to register and 
they are remembered. There is no need to extend fe_users in this case, 
all data can be saved in 'uc' array.
