Exactly only when i CloudFlare(www.cloudflare.com) the domain the 
hostname cannot be retrieved.

At least i managed to solve this by:

try:
   host = socket.gethostbyaddr( os.environ['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'] )[0]
except Exception as e:
   host = repr(e)


Seems like when you cloudflare a domain you can  no longer have the
originates ip address of the visitor but you have to read the above
environmental variable to be bale to retrieve it!

What is now proved was at first only imagined!
