****************************************************************
The servlet getRemoteHost() api should either return the
resolved hostname or the dotted decimal ip address.  The
webcontainer was returning NULL when the resolved hostname is
not available via the WebSphere private header.
Problem conclusion
The webcontainer will return the dotted decimal ip address from
the $WSRA private header when the $WSRH private header is not
set.
