Re: getRemoteHost return IP address

[Michael Tang]

It is not the problem with the tomcat log. It is our appliation log shows 
that that "getRemoteHost" returned an IP instead of host name. It shouldn't 
be a network problem because the call does return the host name for a period 
of time. But we are not sure what our web application does that trigger the 
call to return IP address afterwards.

Is the macine otherwise (that is, outside of Tomcat) able to perform a
reverse lookup of the IP?  Because if the reverse lookup fails, Tomcat
will just log the IP.
Otherwise, if it's a true Tomcat bug, it's unlikely it will be fixed in
an official release: v4.0.x is now two revisions behind the current
version (5.0.x).
