What is my IP Address - query tool

December 28th, 2007

I written a tiny web app to resolve the external ip. It is similar to what is my IP address site, however, there is no advertisement and other useless information. Can be used during troubleshooting and in various scripts to identify external internet ip address.

When do i use it?
When you need to find out your external ip address quickly.
When you write monitoring scripts/utilities and need to confirm hosts external ip.
When network settings have been changed and external ip is unknown.
When internet load balancing is used.. etc…

Usage:

Using web browser visit: http://ip.serverchief.com

Using unix shell & curl command: curl ip.serverchief.com

Using perl with basic LWP: perl -MLWP::Simple -e “getprint ‘http://ip.serverchief.com’”
