At the client? You assume that this is a soft phone? And not a mobile?
And not a mac? etc.

Why not use the fact that SIP / IAX clients normally register?

So just require your clients to register with their soft phones to your
service. Then the information about the IP address will be available.
And no external utility needed. Let alone an extra protocol to use it on
the server side.

In eithe case, you lose the immediate "click2dial" effect - you need an
existing client that is set to connect to some specific server before the
call.
