Does apache log client IPs per request by default? If not, what are some common ways to do this?

    Why do you think it doesn't, and why haven't you done some cursory research?

Yes, Apache logs the IP addresses that request resources from it. By default, the logs are stored in /var/log/apache2/access.log, but you can check your Apache config file at /etc/apache2/sites-available/your site under the CustomLog directive.

Yes, it does. Please read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html#accesslog for more info.
