title: Get Client Host name on Azure ASP App
body: <p>Trying to get the local machine name for an Azure hosted ASP application.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Request.ServerVariables["HOST_NAME"] 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns 127.0.0.1 as does HOST_ADDRESS</p>
  
  <p>In fact I can't find anything in Request.Server variables that reflects the local hostname.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dns.GetHostEntry(Request.UserHostAddress).HostName 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will not work as this is a server side lookup, so all you get is the public gateway name not the actual end-user machine name.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>I am stumped and just feel this should be so simple!??!</p>
