Using hard-coded host name in logon trigger

I need to write a trigger which prevents certain users from logging into the production database.
We use Active Data Guard.
If I hardcode the Linux hostname in the trigger to verify the host is production, then in case of "Role Change", the trigger may not work.
Correct?

This is a three-tier system. The end users communicate via an application server, which will use a generic name.
Here is a solution I had been contemplating implementing:
1. Have a table which will check for combination of user + server + database hostname (name of machine where database is hosted).
2. Have a
DB_ROLE_CHANGE
trigger which will get activated if the production now runs from standby
3. The DB_ROLE_TRIGGER
will modify the table so that the database hostname now reflects new production server hostname
4. The APPSERVER and APPUSER will match OK. But since the hostname is now production - it will disallow login.
