Japanese character not displayed correctly which is hosted in iis7

I have asp.net mvc3 application which displays both English and Japanese characters in label and buttons. The English/Japanese characters are fetched from resource (.resx) file. I have hosted the site in local IIS. When I browse site from ISS, the Japanese characters are displayed correctly even if I use domain name or IP address.

Problem:

The same code I hosted in server machine IIS. When I use IP address and site name (For example, http://10.111.11.11/sitename) the Japanese characters are displayed correctly. All is fine.

But if I use domain name (For example, http://abcd.mydomain.com/sitename) the Japanese characters are displayed incorrectly.

What could be the problem? I have done some searches in net, but could not find any answer.

I am fetching Japanese words from resources.ja-JP.resx file. and in my web.config file added <globalization culture='ja-JP uiCulture='ja-JP'> and set thread culture and uiculture in code also. And tried this too in web.config <globalization culture='auto' uiCulture='auto'> but none of that is working.

If i use IP address, everything working fine, but if I use specific name it is not working? Do i need change or add anything in code or IIS7?

In your web.config you say you have this set:

<globalization culture='ja-JP uiCulture='ja-JP'>

Seems like you are missing a quote around the culture='ja-JP so it should be this:

<globalization
     culture="ja-JP"
     uiCulture="ja-JP"
  />

But do you also have the utf-8 settings in place like this?

<globalization
     fileEncoding="utf-8"
     requestEncoding="utf-8"
     responseEncoding="utf-8"
     culture="ja-JP"
     uiCulture="ja-JP"
  />

Details from this official Microsoft site.
