What I know is that:
Heartbeat with MySQL uses two IP's. That of the server, and that of the
resource MySql. The former is fixed, the latter moves with MySQL when
it's moved to another server.
The one I need is the hostname of the physical server, not the resource.
I've installed 5.0.41 and have found that the 'hostname' variable does
report the hostname of the physical server. I have no idea how it does
it :)
I have my solution, thanks for the help,
Ben Clewett.

Dear MySQL,
I'm running 5.0.26 through Heartbeat. Which seems to work well,
even as a replication slave and Heartbeat continously stopping and
starting the server.
The Heartbeat moves MySQL around from server to server when a
failure occures. I am trying to find a way for MySQL to report the
server host name on which it's currently sitting. Without any luck.
Would any kind members know of a way of getting this information
from MySQL?
Many thanks,
Ben
Heartbeat moves the IP address around as well as the services.
Your hostname should not change.
DNS won't change, but the server's /etc/hostname will, right?
Disclaimer: I'm no expert on this... I didn't even know the IP
address moved too. I should read about Heartbeat.

Do you actually have /etc/hostname?
RHEL and Centos do not.
They do have an entry in /etc/sysconfig/network
Debian and Gentoo have /etc/hostname and /etc/conf.d/hostname,
respectively. I would think this is what /usr/bin/hostname uses, and
probably where the hostname server variable gets set from in MySQL 5.0.41.
