Perhaps the JSESSIONID cookie is lost when you switch from ip-address to host-name or vice versa
This happens because cookie is assosiated with the host (and path), so if you redirect IP request to HOSTNAME path the cookie is not attached to this request (it is supposed to belong to IP-based "domain") The solution is to use only one of IP or HOSTNAME in your application. Oher solution may be not using cookie for JSESSIONID storage but using URL rewriting fot this. Though I'm not sure if this works as I did not test it so I would appriciate if you tell us your final solution. HTH, Dima.
