Getting hostname/IP of the BEA server

Question

Hello,
I need to know the IP of the BEA server the request is currently working on.
I have a cluster with 2 servers inside, each running in its HW.
The HW has IP and the BEA has different IP.
We need to send a request (using URLConnection) to another servlet in the same application which must be running on the same server.
We have used InetAddress.getLocalHost() is past, but now the HW's IP and BEA's IP are different and this causes problem.
Is there an easy way how to get the IP from Java?
We can put the IP into a property file, but this is not prefferd way, because we'd have different properties file on different servers.
Thanks advance for any advice.

Oops. Missed the important part. It is a custom class which does something like this.
1. Gets the initial context.
2. Looks up for "weblogic.management.home.localhome" and assigns it to an weblogic.management.MBeanHome object.
3. Call getMBeansByType("ServerConfig") on the object mentioned in step 3 and assign the returned value to a Set object.
4. Iterate through the Set created in step 3 and assign it to weblogic.management.WebLogicMBean object.
5. Call getName() on the object in step 4 and check whether it is equal to
System.getProperty("weblogic.Name").
If the check returns true, call
getAttribute("ListenAddress") on the object created in step 4 and convert it to String object.
On similar lines, you can call getAttribute("ListenPort") on the object too.
If this works for you, please assign the reward points.
Cheers!
