It's not supported. I believe some Java containers may have support for that directly, and that is a better approach than forcing every application to implement a look-aside, but no, the IdP doesn't.
I believe the other "Java" way of doing it is with a servlet filter that overrides getRemoteAddr, which you could build trivially.

There isn't one I'm aware of.
