Only if your backend server identifies itself in the response. For instance, you might configure it to insert an HTTP header in the response.

A comment embedded in the HTML (or a tooltop on a logo) is often a convenient solution too -- the latter has the advantage of being something Joe Average User can do when you're troubleshooting something: "OK hover over the MyCompany logo and a little yellow box should appear - what does it say in the box?" – voretaq7 Oct 15 '12 at 17:18
