No IP address is required. A .edu email address may be required, however. It can be purchased by a student, faculty or staff. No verification from the school is required. Who you give it to is not relevant.

All I had to do was select my school. Didn't have to use any special email address or ID. Don't even have to log in through my school's apple store.

As did I, all I need to do was select the school. No email address or anything else was necessary.
If you were to go onto the Apple store and click on "Education Pricing", it will ask you to select your school. By typing in the school name or zip code. Once you find your school click next and you'll be able to get education pricing on your purchase. For example MacBook Pro 13in is a $100 off discount. Wheres the higher end 15in i7 and 17in i5 models are $200. $200 off is the most you'd get for the pro lines.
If you were to call and make a purchase via phone they'd ask for the school name or you can give them the zip code too.
If you were to purchase it in store, just tell them you'd like an education discount and as I've said before, they'll ask for the school's name and/or zip code.
Only reason why you'd be ask for an student ID is if you went to best buy and wanted them to price match Apple's student discount.

I've just bought an MBA but would also like a new 13" MBP.
I'm uni staff so no probs there but I'm only eligible for one notebook a year according to the T&C. I wonder if they check that?

I've ordered from both the government (thank you internship) store and the education store and haven't received any checks. Maybe it's different elsewhere but I think you can basically select any school that doesn't require you to enter the name/password combo and you're in.
