[users@httpd] host ip addr missing from access log

I am searching for an explanation as to how the access log could have
not recorded the host ip address if it is configured to record it. I
don't think that escape character sequences are playing a part here,
since viewing the log with the vi editor displays what is shown below.

Please see log snippet below. Notice that the ip address of the
previous host is recorded (as usual), but beginning with the 4th
record there is only :: where the ip should be. These log entries
recorded the beginning of a DOS attack on the server.
