NAME

Data::Collector::Info::ExternalIP - Fetch machine's external IP information

This info module fetches the external IP of a machine using the DynDNS URL http://checkip.dyndns.org.

This is good in two situations:

• When you're trying to determine an external IP inside a network

• When you have multiple IPs and want to find the main one

  (something that happens quite often on hosting servers)

The key this module takes in the registry is external_ip.
