Hi,
Does the 10.4.0.101 reverse resolve to a specific hostname? If it does you are 
probably running MySQL with the skip_hostname_resolve option and if it 
doesn't there is no way the MySQL server could tell from which host the 
request is comming.

My opinion is that it is always better to use the IP-addresses instead of the 
hostnames and use skip_hostname_resolve - the connection overhead will be 
smaller this way.
