UseHostName
This property specifies whether the server returns its DNS host name (the computer name, by default) when doing redirects. If the value of this property is false, then the host's IP address is returned instead of a host name.

Note If the client sends the host header, the server will use the value specified in the host header for the UseHostName property, regardless of the server's own internal setting.
