See /server-status, that lists all the sessions it's tracking.

The source is VERY well commented mostly because it's the only way I'll 
be able to grok it - my memories last for about 15 minutes and then I'm 
mostly blank.

Anyway, here are the rules in order, and the last one wins (that is, 
we'll go through the whole list):

* $HOSTNAME
* -h option
* previous hostname from the session data
* whichever vhost has the file pointed by selector (using stat())
* the hostname after the semicolon in the selector

That's pretty much it, from memory. It's been more than 15 minutes since 
I looked at the code so I might be completely wrong....
