Get the server name from ASP when accessed by IP address

[Steve Lynch]

Is there a way to display the server's host name or computer name from ASP when
the page was accessed by IP address? I tried dumping all the variables and
header information, but when the URL is accessed using the IP address, the
variables like SERVER_NAME and HTTP_HOST are sent to the web browser as the IP
address.

Not all valid in this case, but you can see:

Thanks for the reply, but I won't be able to change the permissions to access
WMI on these servers. This needs to run as IUSR_%COMPUTERNAME% with default
IIS6 security.

Any other ideas?

Have you tried also the other solutions mentioned in this article (using
WScript.Network should work ?). This is what we are using...

"Display" in the sense of "display in the address bar"?

<%
If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") = "123.456.789.123" Then
Response.Redirect "http://www.myDomainByName.xyz" &_
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
End If
%>

or perhaps:

<%
If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") =_
Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR") Then
Response.Redirect "http://www.myDomainByName.xyz" &_
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")
End If
%>

Not tested!

Thanks Aaron and Patrice, The first time I totally missed the WScript portion of
the first example, and only saw the "SERVER_NAME" & "LOCAL_ADDR" part. This
seems to be working fine, thanks!
