Display Server Name on the title of the WINDOW : Best Way to Implement

Question

our weblogic is deployed in a clustered environment(group of weblogic instances)(say for eg) Server01,Server02,Server03). Every time the request will go to any one of the weblogic instances. Now i need to display the server name on the title of the IE window.
Web Application : - Server02(request 1)
Web Application : - Server03(request 2)
For that i've followed the following approach.
<filter>
<filter-name>AppFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.src.app.AppFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>AppFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
All request will go thro' the filter.
In filter, dofilter method of AppFilter, set the server name as below.
request.setAttribute("HOSTNAME", (" " + InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()));
In all jsp title,do the following.
<title>WEB Application <%= request.getAttribute("HOSTNAME") %></title>
This is working fine. I would like to know, if there's any better way of doing this?

Thanks for all your replies

We have one admin server and 3 managed servers.
3 managed servers are in different machines(sprd01,sprd02,sprd03).
we have a big ip configured against these managed servers. we expose only the big ip to the end user.
Based on load, the admin server will route the request to any one of the managed servers.
Reason for displaying the server name on window
The reason for displaying the Server Name (m/c name where managed server is running) on the window , is to help the developers to find out
the current logs.
log (app.log - logger file - log4j ) will go to sprd01,sprd02,sprd03.
now if we display the servername on the window, then we can direct go the machine and look for the logs.
otherwise,developer has to search for all in all the boxes.(sprd01,sprd02,sprd03)
Questions:
--Now i would like here more abt the Host HTTP header.
*1. is my approach to retreive the host machine name is good? is there any other simple way to get the host name?*
*2. as per your answer, are you asking me to get the host name from httpheader. request.getRemoteHost()?*
*3. is there any way i can set the title of the browser window from filter itself instead of setting requestAttribute in filter and reading the same in*
all the jsp's?
4. Is there any better way to implement this requirement?
baftos,
Reason for using a filter.
Tomorrow if i dont want to display the machine name in the window,
then all i need to do , is to change the filter statement as follows, instead of changing all the jsp's.
request.setAttribute("HOSTNAME", "");
