Shouldn't need to, though.  The Servlet API has getRemoteAddr() and
getRemoteHost() (although I have seen times where the latter returned
the IP address instead of the host name, probably because it couldn't
get it; of course, in those cases, java.net.InetAddress might not work
either).

However, the more important issue is that the host name will suffer
from the same problems as mentioned for the IP address (e.g. when
someone's behind a proxy).
