getRemoteHost return IP address
I am using Tomcat 4.0.6 and our customer ran into a weird and
hard-to-reproduce problem. From the log, we see within one servlet,
HttpServletRequest.getRemoteHost return host name (enableLookups="true" in
server.xml). However, during the running, one HttpProcessor thread suddenly
switch to returning IP address instead of the hostname. Does anyone see
similar problem before or have any suggestion?
thanks,
-Michael

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).
