How to figure out a if insensitive file path exists or not?

I use the below command with echo $? to determine if a file path exists.
Code:
ls  /app/weblogic/myserver4/logs/`hostname`/data/proc.pid

Output:
Code:
 /app/weblogic/myserver4/logs/myhostseven/data/proc.pid

The problem is that I have both AIX and Linux systems.

On some servers hostname is either Uppercase or Lowercase.

Thus, I need a posix solution that works on AiX and non-AiX L/Unix based system where i should be able to determine if the file exists irrespective of whether than server has hostname in UPPER or lower case.

A different approach / solution will also be appreciated.

check-hostname(1M)					  System Administration Commands					check-hostname(1M)

NAME
check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-hostname DESCRIPTION
The check-hostname script is a migration aid for sendmail(1M). This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name (FQHN) in a manner similar to sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports success. Other- wise, check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the FQHN can be properly determined. FILES
/etc/hosts Host name database /etc/nsswitch.conf Name service switch configuration file /etc/resolv.conf Configuration file for name server routines ATTRIBUTES
