RE: Retrieve IP address

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This may work -- depending on what it's used it for -- but all you're
(conceptually) doing here is storing the IP in a file and retrieving it when
necessary.

If the IP changes for whatever reason (DHCP, PPP auto-negotiation, etc)
you'll have to update the host table manually to get the new IP.

And if your host is multi-homed or has alias addresses, this won't even
try to cope with them.

So...  it depends on what the originally poster is trying to do.
