Copy and Paste from ERXRequest from ProjectWonder:

    /**
     * Returns the remote host name. Works in various setups, like
     * direct connect, deployed etc. If no host name can be found,
     * returns "UNKNOWN".
     */
    public String remoteHost() {
        String host = null;
        if (WOApplication.application().isDirectConnectEnabled()) {
            InetAddress hostAdd = _originatingAddress();
            if (hostAdd != null) {
                host = hostAdd.getHostAddress();
                return host;
            }
        }
        if (host == null) {
            host = headerForKey("remote_host");
            if (host != null) return host;

            host= headerForKey("remote_addr");
            if (host != null) return host;

            host = headerForKey("remote_user");
            if (host != null) return host;

            host = headerForKey("x-webobjects-remote-addr");
            if (host != null) return host;
        }
        return "UNKNOWN";
    }
