This is what I use in rc.firewall for a DHCP assigned IPv4 address:


        onet=`ifconfig vx0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $6}'`

        oip=`ifconfig vx0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}'`

        omask=`ifconfig vx0 | grep "netmask" | awk '{print $4}'`


This works for a cable modem via my vx0 10/100 Ethernet NIC.  For PPP, YMMV.

In rc.firewall one can configure the simple type of firewall rule set.
It requests you to enter your settings for
"your outside network, mask, ip". This looks like it wants a public
static ip address from ISP. I logon to my ISP using user ppp and get
a dynamic IP address that is different every time.

What value am I to enter in these fields so it knows it's dynamic ip
address?
