[Catalyst] How to get IP address of the interface which the request come through

Not a quite common use case.

I make a configuration generation site for Google-android apps.
Each user access the site from their own PC's to generate a 
configuration file, and then send the config file to android terminals 
over the USB connection.

In my environment, users usually use just a hostname (not a FQDN)
with the help of DNS default search-domain setting.
So they will access URL like 'http://configserver/mk_config', not
a 'http://configserver.domain.co.jp/mk_config.'

However, android OS seems ignore default search-domain setting assigned 
by DHCP server, so android-terminals can not resolve IP address
of 'configserver'. (Of course , they can resolve 
'configserver.domain.co.jp' to  IP address)

This is why I prefer IP's address over hostnames in this situation.


I'm afraid my 'localhost' example is not a appropriate and make you
confused as though I want to resolve 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1'.
Pardon me if this is the case.

N.A
