I use IP Masquerading in conjunction with diald for a dialup PPP
connection and I get an IP address assigned dynamically. I have a couple
of firewall rule files scripts that are executed automatically when
diald brings the modem connection up and down. The way I get the
dynamically assigned IP address for my server from the PPP connection is
with the following statment in my firewall rules script:
ISP_IP=`ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e
"s/addr\://"`
I execute the script with the "ip-up" directive in my diald.conf file.
If you're interested I can forward you my script and configuration files
I use for my server.
