The REMOTE_HOST variable is only filled, if you activate name resolution in
Apache. I would however _not_ recommend that, as it adds a small delay to
each page view.

Instead use the REMOTE_ADDR variable, which holds the IP address of the
visitor. If you really need to have it converted to a hostname, then just
resolve that ip-address (i.e. only do it, when you actually need the
information). If possible, then use offline processing.
