How to get client machine name accessing .net web application when its deployed on server and behind F5 load balancer

System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_HOST"]).HostName;

this gives correct value when executed on local machine however it returns F5 load balancer IP address when deployed on server.

this is resulting server machine name, not the client using the application at client workstation

HttpContext.Current.Username should say the current client name
