But of course. :)

I use this little bash script. It does assume that you have Lynx 
installed ("fink install lynx" if you don't). You could just as easily 
use curl or wget instead; I found this one on the 'net and was a bit 
too lazy to write my own.

/sw/bin/lynx --nocolor --dump $url | head -10 |  grep "Your IP" |  awk 
'{print $4}'
echo ""
