It won't ever do it, whether it's Inprivate or not.

I know, and I already replied showing an example using DNS that can get the
machine name from the internal DNS - in an intranet on a Windows domain,
assuming it's a Windows 2000 or higher domain controller using dynamic DNS,
all internal machines will have their machine name recorded in the ADS DNS
and so will be easy enough to look up, and responses will be quick, assuming
that IIS is given sufficient permission to do so.
