It will be something like this

(your extract)
| regex apche_zhuji_sip="^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}$" 

That's the basic, simple version that makes sure the IP has 1-3 numeric digits. You could also do a more complicated version that limits the nodes to 001-255...

| regex apche_zhuji_sip="(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3} (?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)"
