TCP/IP 101. "localhost" is a distinct virtual host name that ONLY WORKS ON THE LOCAL COMPUTER.
"some.ip.address" is a distinct virtual host name, just like "localhost" or "my.host.com". If you don't have that IP address set up as a hostname in Apache's httpd.conf and Tomcat's server.xml, you will not get a successful request.
