  That's why I asked. Hostname is an overloaded term, especially in a
heterogeneous environment. You mentioned tomcat so you are alreay doing
servlets. The client IP address should be available through
[Http]ServletRequest[Wrapper]'s getRemoteAddress() method. Similarly,
you get the _DNS_ hostname through getRemoteHost(). This may or may not
coincide with its NetBIOS name (which I wouldn't know how to retrieve).
