Use the Eggdrop Tcl command

getchanhost <nick>

It returns user@host so you would then have to split at the @ character

set host [lindex [split [getchanhost $nick] @] 1]

You could then use a regexp to test if the host is numeric, if not use dnslookup to convert hostname into a numeric ip.

It's a little more difficult than that because you would have to code the event of a hostname that will not dns resolve.

This works for nicks in a bot channel. For any nick it becomes even more difficult. You would have to send a network /whois and interpret the raw numeric response.

but, most irc networks cloak the real host of their users, so it might not work like that...

your bot must be oper to see the real ip

rAw(378) MoarBOT is connecting from *@67.220.75.77 67.220.75.77

The 378 numeric response is not a standardized numeric, and is conflicting across different irc networks. You would have to be very cautious to check that this numeric is supported in this manner for your irc network.
