It sounds like all you want is request.getRemoteAddr()/request.getRemoteHost(). These give you the IP/DNS-name of the client's box. All of this is taken from the Socket (since there really isn't any other way to get at it).
If you need to get the IP on your machine that they connected to, then you can't. request.getServerName() reports what was sent in the Headers.
