Finding your dynamic external IP

[Technical Director]

Hello,

AFAIK in 4.#(.#) releases, /var/db/dhclient.leases also has the current IP
in a block format:

eg:

lease {
  interface "de0";
  fixed-address X.X.X.X;
  on and on
  ...
}

NOTE: When a new address is assigned it is "appended" to the end of the
leases file.
