I am sure you have a proxy (nginx or apache?) on the same machine.  So the
users access the proxy and the proxy accesses tomcat (which sees the
request as a local one).

You need to add a directive to your proxy to preserve the name of the
requesting host.  On nginx this is:

see http://ashberlin.co.uk/blog/nginx-proxy-host-header

On apache2:
