You're saying that when you use getServerName(), you get
"www.myserver.com" and "localhost", respectively, with these two URLs,
right? Fine, that *is* the behavior I'm getting as well.
What I'm saying, though, is that apparently this is how HTTP_HOST
behaves in the CGI world, not SERVER_NAME. So it's not the behavior
of getServerName() per se that's in question, but which CGI
environment variable behaves the same way.
(And to answer part of my original question, it looks like with
servlets there is no way to get the configured server name, as there
is with CGI.)

I believe some of their people read this list, so perhaps they can
comment (if they're not totally confused at this point :-).
