But if it 1. isn't stored && 2 there is a good reason (e g. be able to block attacks) && 3. it isn't abused for any other illegal reason then I think they are fine, no extra consent needed to store the IP address temporarily.
But then the law has already been followed.
Edit: also I wouldn't expect anyone outside of IT to care if something is "stored" in RAM or on disk. Kn this case that might be a good thing.
