Did you follow Vadim's advice earlier in this thread?

I think request.getServerName() should return the correct value then.

Yes but for me it's going to far in virtual host or http server
configuration and it's tied to a particular http server configuration.

getServerName() apparently
"Returns the host name of the server that received the request"
which not what you want i guess.

getHeader('Host') is preferable as it returns the name that appears in the
client's browser.

for me a prefix constructed from sitemap with
<map:parameter name="site"
value="{request:scheme}://{request-header:Host}/{request:contextPath}"/>
seems to work well to absolutize my urls (i'm using apache+tomcat5).
