I am aware that is is possible to determine the web client computer name
using DNS, i.e. invoke System.Net.Dns. GetHostEntry(
System.Web.Http Request.UserHos tAddress). However, this only seems to work if
the client computer resides within the same domain as the web server.
Is it possible to determine the computer name for a web client which resides
in a different domain to the web server?

Try Request.UserHos tName.

for internet users, most use a proxy that will hide their machine name via
nat translation. if this in an internal application, you can configure
win/dhcp to update your internal dns server with the computer name.

I don't think there is any other way.

I understand the basic concepts of DNS and DHCP from when I had technical
support roles, however, my knowledge of these areas is becoming a little
dated.
Are you telling me that one DNS server can be configured to update the
records of a different server in a different domain? i.e. DNS ServerA in
DomainA can inform DNS ServerB in DomainB that ComputerA exists.
If the systems can be configured to solve my problem, then I will have to
ask the systems guys to investigate.

And the result you get is ? Any specific IP we could try ?
IMO this is more likely that some ISP won't bother with handling this so in
some cases the ISP will either ignore the request or will return some random
name...
What would you do with the host name ?

Please let me steer you back on to the path of my enquiry.
This is only for an Intranet application, and I am referring to internal
